Pabna District, Administrative district in Rajshahi Division, Bangladesh
Pabna District is a region in Rajshahi Division located in central Bangladesh. The area is shaped by several rivers that flow through it, supporting farming and connecting different parts of the district through water routes.
The district participated in the Indigo Rebellion of 1859, when agricultural workers opposed excessive rent demands from landowners during British colonial rule. This uprising reflected broader tensions between rural laborers and estate owners across the region.
The district maintains numerous educational institutions, including Pabna University of Science and Technology, multiple colleges, and a medical school for professional training.
The district is divided into nine administrative subdivisions that connect villages and towns across the area. The best time to visit is during the dry season when roads are easier to travel.
The area is known for dry farming, where farmers grow crops like wheat and mustard seeds without irrigation. This traditional method shapes the landscape and how people adapt to seasonal changes.
