Bangladesh Secretariat, Government headquarters in Segunbagicha, Dhaka, Bangladesh

The Bangladesh Secretariat is the administrative headquarters of the Government of Bangladesh, occupying a complex of buildings in Segunbagicha, Dhaka. It houses the majority of ministries and government agencies, and its political heads are the ministers while the administrative heads are the Secretaries to the Government.

The Bangladesh Secretariat occupies a group of buildings constructed in 1947, which served as the secretariat of the provincial government of East Pakistan until 1971. After independence that year, it became the administrative headquarters of the Government of Bangladesh. A long-planned move to a new complex at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, modelled on Louis Kahn's parliament building, was cancelled, and the secretariat remains in Segunbagicha.

The Secretariat's name is used both for the ministry complex and for the Bangladesh Civil Service central administration. Its political heads are ministers, while administrative heads are the Secretaries to the Government. In 2009 The Daily Star reported it received 1,200 visitors a day, many of them lobbyists.

Access is limited to weekdays and requires valid identification and security screening at the entrances. It is best to arrive early in the day, as access can vary depending on government activities and schedules.

The site houses offices for more than 30 different ministries under a single administrative roof. This concentration makes it one of the largest government complexes in South Asia.
