Mymensingh Division, Administrative division in northern Bangladesh
Description
Mymensingh Division is an administrative region in northern Bangladesh comprising four districts: Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Netrokona, and Sherpur. The Brahmaputra River flows through the territory, supplying water to countless villages and towns that depend on it for farming and daily life.
History
The area was part of ancient Bengal through various periods and experienced rule under the Maurya, Gupta, and Mughal empires over centuries. It became a separate administrative division only in 2015 when it was divided from the former Dhaka Division.
Culture
The region preserves local folk narratives and songs documented in collections like Mymensingh Geetika, which reflect the customs and traditions of its communities. These recorded stories appear in schools and cultural institutions throughout the area.
Practical
This is a rural region where farming shapes daily life and rice paddies, jute plantations, and vegetable gardens dominate the landscape. The best time to visit is during drier months when roads are more accessible and traveling between towns is easier.
Did you know?
The region is home to Bangladesh Agricultural University, one of the country's leading institutions for agricultural research and education. The university's work and presence significantly shape the economic and educational life of the area.
