The responsibility of Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) is to provide reliable and up-to-date data for development planning and administrative activities of the country. BBS has been regularly collecting, compiling and publishing various data for the use of planners engaged in national and local planning, public and private research institutes, international organizations and the public. Recently National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS) and Statistics Act 2013 have been formulated. As a result the scope of work of BBS has been expanded. In view of this, the organizational structure of BBS has been redefined and work is underway to strengthen and rationalize it. Under Section 6 of the Statistics Act 2013, surveys have been completed in various census and socio-economic and demographic areas.
