Bangladesh Secretariat, Government headquarters in Segunbagicha, Dhaka, Bangladesh
The Bangladesh Secretariat is a large building complex in Segunbagicha that houses all the ministries and departments of the national government. The site consists of multiple structures arranged together to serve as the country's administrative center.
The complex was completed in 1969 as the East Pakistan Secretariat under Pakistani administration. After Bangladesh gained independence in 1971, it became the headquarters for the newly formed nation.
The Secretariat shows how the country's government administration works every day. Officials gather here to carry out policies that shape national decisions and public services.
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.
