Dhaka(District)

Known as the heart and administrative hub of the country, Dhaka District is the capital and one of the major commercial regions of Bangladesh.

Situated on the banks of the Buriganga River, this district is geographically composed of floodplains and low-lying wetlands.

Administratively, Dhaka District is divided into six upazilas: Dhaka, Dohar, Dhamrai, Keraniganj, Nawabganj, and Savar.

It has been a center of trade and commerce since ancient times, where landmarks of Mughal architecture such as Lalbagh Fort, Ahsan Manzil, and Tara Masjid still stand as witnesses to history.

Busy areas like Karwan Bazar, New Market, and Sadarghat serve as the economic lifeblood of the district.

Dhaka's identity is not limited to architecture or commerce; it is the primary center of the country's education, culture, and politics.

Institutions like the University of Dhaka, BUET, and Dhaka Medical College are the main pillars of intellectual pursuit in this district.

Well-known personalities from this region include Nawab Salimullah, Sher-e-Bangla A.

K.

Fazlul Huq, and poet Nirmalendu Goon, among many other distinguished figures.

In recent times, Dhaka District has taken on a new form due to the development of modern transportation systems like the Metro Rail and the Elevated Expressway, which have made the city more dynamic.

Regular boat traffic along the banks of the Buriganga River and various festivals have given the life of Dhaka a unique dimension.
