Message

I am glad to learn that the publication of community reports for each Zila is undertaken by the
Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) on the basis of census results to meet the demand of
community level information by the users working at the grass root level. Bogra Zila Community
Report is one of the 64 Zila Community Reports to be published by the BBS.

The census results for each administrative units of the zila are furnished in the Zila Community Report
of Bogra in order to facilitate the users at various levels. I believe the data presented in the report will
provide quality 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 country. I also believe that this report will be helpful for all users both
home and abroad.

The dedicated efforts of personnel employed in census have tremendously helped for the success of
census operation. Moreover, the participation of people at large also play a vital role in this process. I
deeply acknowledge the active participation and commendable cooperation of general public,
government and non-government organizations, district and field administration, different local
government bodies, print and electronic media for making the census possible. I also express my
thanks to the European Union, US Census Bureau, U.S. Agency for International Development and
United Nations Population Fund for their financial and technical support for completing this huge task.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Secretary, Statistics and Informatics Division (SID) for her
whole-hearted guidance and direction to execute and expedite this census modus operandi and its
publications. Finally, I appreciate the contribution of Director General, BBS and all other officials of
SID and BBS involved in this effort for bringing out this report.
