Barisal Division

The Barisal division spans 13,225 square kilometers across six districts, featuring numerous waterways and agricultural lands at an elevation of 4 meters.

The territory transformed from East Pakistan to become an administrative division of Bangladesh in 1993, marking a new chapter in regional governance.

Local inhabitants maintain traditional practices through district fairs where they present regional music performances, crafts exhibitions, and agricultural products.

The division functions through a network of administrative offices across 42 sub-districts, managing public services and development projects for over 9 million residents.

The region contains the Durga Sagar, a 2,500-hectare pond created in 1780, which serves as a natural habitat for migratory birds throughout the year.
