Bangladesh is an agricultural country. Agriculture is one of the main sources of national income and the livelihood of nearly two-thirds of the people. Therefore, the importance of land and water resources in this country is immense. Land is the basic natural resource which is the main source of food, industrial products, luxury, health protection materials, etc. But due to the increase in population and unplanned use of land, this important resource of ours is decreasing day by day. Along with economic progress, the trend of urbanization is increasing, the extent of industrialization is gradually increasing, and the amount of land per capita is gradually shrinking due to the continuous expansion of roads, hospitals, and educational institutions. Utilization of this important resource is largely dependent on proper planning. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the fair use of these natural resources and the best use of limited land through proper planning and policy. In this regard, land use policies have already been formulated by the Ministry of Land.

After the independence of Bangladesh in 1971 through the Great War of Liberation under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a full-fledged ministry was formed to carry out all land-related tasks. At present Directorate of Land Records and Survey, Land Reforms Board, Land Appeal Board, Land Administration Training Center, and Comptroller of Accounts (Revenue) Department are functioning under the Ministry of Lands. Commissioner at the divisional level, Collector at the district level (district administrator), Assistant Commissioner (land) at the upazila level, and Union Land Assistant Officer (tahsildar) at the union level are engaged in performing land-related tasks. The Ministry of Lands works in the areas of land development tax and revenue collection, special land management and settlement, watershed management, land acquisition and possession, land record and survey, and training of land-related officers/employees.
