Foreword

Population Census is indeed the only recognized and reliable data source in Bangladesh on size, spatial distribution and all basic characteristics of population from national level down to village level. Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) had conducted the fifth Population and Housing Census 2011 during the period of March 15-19, 2011 starting at the zero hour of 15 March, 2011. The publication of zila reports for each zila is undertaken on the basis of census results to meet the demand of data for subnational planning and policy making. Sirajganj Zila Report is one of the 64 Zila Reports of the country.

The census results for Sirajganj Zila along with the result of all upazilas of the district are furnished in the report in order to facilitate the users at various levels. The key findings of the zila namely “Sirajganj Zila at a Glance” will be of special advantage to the users. I believe that the data presented in this report will provide a benchmark database to policy makers, planners, researchers, administrators, development partners and other agencies for formulating and implementing their plans and programs for overall development of the zila. I also believe that this report will be helpful for all users both at home and abroad.

I deeply acknowledge the active participation and commendable cooperation of all the government and non-government organizations, district and field administration, different local government bodies, print and electronic media of the country for making the Census possible. I also express my gratitude to the European Union (EU), US Bureau of Census, US Agency for International Development (USAID) and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for their financial and technical assistance for completing this colossal task. I express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. AHM Mustafa Kamal, FCA, MP, Honorable Minister, Ministry of Planning for his effective guidance and significant cooperation to the census project of BBS. Thanks is also due to the honorable State Minister, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Planning Mr. M.A. Mannan, MP, for his support and encouragement in the implementation of the Population and Housing Census 2011 Project. We are grateful to the respected Cabinet Secretary and the Senior Secretary, Ministry of Public Administration for their active cooperation.

The Population and Housing Census 2011 had made best use of the modern IT technology. In order to minimize time and manpower, modern technology like ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) and iCADE (Integrated Computer Assisted Data Entry) system were used in capturing the census data. CSPro software was used in analyzing and processing of data.

I express my thanks to Director General and Deputy Director General, BBS, Project Director, Population and Housing Census 2011, members of the Steering Committee, Technical Committee, Editors’ Committee, other officers and staff members of BBS and report writing consultants involved in the efforts and finally bringing out this report.

Preface

Bangladesh has a long tradition of conducting population census on decennial basis since 1872. Following the decennial periodicity the Fifth Population Census of Bangladesh was conducted during 15th March to 19th March, 2011 under Population and Housing Census 2011 Project. The main objective of the census was to collect information on the basic characteristics related to housing, households and population for developing a comprehensive database for development planning and human resource development programmes as well as economic management.

For the first time in Bangladesh, data under Population and Housing Census 2011 Project were collected through ICR formatted questionnaire. This questionnaire was pre-tested in selected areas with the participation of some experts of the “Technical Committee”. The views of the users and experts were taken into consideration for finalizing the questionnaire. The pre-census preparatory work was finalized through two zonal operations. Accordingly, the questionnaire was designed in machine readable format with the technical assistance of US Bureau of Census and was printed with the financial assistance of European Union (EU) through the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

The entire country was divided into 2,96,718 Enumeration Areas (EAs) using enumeration area maps prepared by BBS in order to ensure full coverage, effective management and close supervision. Every 6 or 7 enumerators were supervised by one Supervisor. The Geo-coding system developed in the previous Census was checked, edited and computerized.

Census committees were formed at the Zila, Thana/ Upazila, Paurashava, Union/Ward levels. Supervisors and enumerators were appointed from amongst the local unemployed youths and trained properly.

At national level, a Standing Technical Committee comprising of well-known census experts of the country and users of census data was formed to provide technical support to BBS in planning, designing and executing the census. A seminar-cum-expert consultation was held at BBS with the census data users, experts, researches and academicians for finalizing the census questionnaire and other policy related issues.

A nationwide publicity campaign was carried out before final enumeration through posters, banners, leaflets, brochures, features, films, miking, radio, television and newspapers for creating public awareness and motivation.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Secretary, Statistics and Informatics Division (SID) for her whole-hearted support and guidance to the census. Members of ‘Steering Committee’, ‘Standing Technical Committee’, consultants and the participants of the Seminar-cum-Expert Consultation deserve special thanks for their valuable support. I am thankful to all members of the sub-committees on publicity, sampling and report writing for their useful contribution. I am also thankful to our mass media, local bodies and the people at all level for their whole-hearted supports to the census.

Finally, I thank Deputy Director General, BBS, Project Director, Population and Housing Census 2011 Project, members of the ‘Editors’ Committee’, other officers and staff members of BBS and local consultants for their relentless efforts in implementing the census activities, processing of data and preparation of Zila Reports.

    Information bulletin Bangladesh: Floods Information bulletin n°2 Date of issue: 3 September 2014 Glide n° FL-2014-000117-BGD Date of disaster: August 2014 Point of contact: 1. Md. Belal Hossain, Director, Disaster Response, BDRCS 2. Andreas Weissenberg, Operations Coordinator, AP Zone Host National Societies: Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) This bulletin is being issued for further information following the first bulletin as well as setting the basis for a DREF request to fund continued humanitarian assistance required in the coming days. It reflects the current situation and response, and the immediate intervention that is required for the affected population. The Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS), with the support of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), has principally decided to make a DREF request to provide and scale up assistance to the population affected by the disaster. The situation Since the second week of August, heavy rains in the main river basins and upstream catchments of India, along with continuous rainfall in northwest and north-eastern parts of Bangladesh have caused flooding in low-lying districts. Districts in the north-west of the country were heavily impacted which triggered a Joint Needs Assessment (JNA) to be carried out in nine districts by members of the Humanitarian Coordination Task Team (HCTT). Situation reports from the Disaster Management Information Centre (DMIC) and reports from BDRCS’ local units as well as other NGOs brought attention to the seriousness of flooding in those districts clustered around the north-west (Lalmonirhat, Kurigram, Nilphamari, Rangpur, Gaibandha, Bogra, Sirajganj, Jamalpur, Sherpur).

  • Traditional Institutions As Tools of Political Islam in Bangladesh

    Traditional Institutions As Tools of Political Islam in Bangladesh

    01_riaz_055072 (jk-t) 15/6/05 11:43 am Page 171 Traditional Institutions as Tools of Political Islam in Bangladesh Ali Riaz Illinois State University, USA ABSTRACT Since 1991, salish (village arbitration) and fatwa (religious edict) have become common features of Bangladesh society, especially in rural areas. Women and non-governmental development organizations (NGOs) have been subjected to fatwas delivered through a traditional social institution called salish. This article examines this phenomenon and its relationship to the rise of Islam as political ideology and increasing strengths of Islamist parties in Bangladesh. This article challenges existing interpretations that persecution of women through salish and fatwa is a reaction of the rural community against the modernization process; that fatwas represent an important tool in the backlash of traditional elites against the impoverished rural women; and that the actions of the rural mullahs do not have any political links. The article shows, with several case studies, that use of salish and fatwa as tools of subjection of women and development organizations reflect an effort to utilize traditional local institutions to further particular interpretations of behavior and of the rights of indi- viduals under Islam, and that this interpretation is intrinsically linked to the Islamists’ agenda. Keywords: Bangladesh; fatwa; political Islam Introduction Although the alarming rise of the militant Islamists in Bangladesh and their menacing acts in the rural areas have received international media attention in recent days (e.g. Griswold, 2005), the process began more than a decade ago. The policies of the authoritarian military regimes that ruled Bangladesh between 1975 and 1990, and the politics of expediency of the two major politi- cal parties – the Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) – enabled the Islamists to emerge from the political wilderness to a legit- imate political force in the national arena (Riaz, 2003).
