First, by for the largest proportion of these is of a type which can be conveniently called rural districts. This is not surprising when one considers that 94.8 percent of the population of Bangladesh (1961 census) lives in rural areas. Second, there are urban districts, in which the district administration is primarily concerned with urban problems. Dacca District, Chittagong District to a great extent & Khulna District to some extent are examples of this type. Third, there are what might be termed industrial districts, covering areas which are on the whole, heavily industrialized. Dacca, Chittagong & Khulna are examples. In course of time the number of such districts is quite likely to increase. Fourth, there is what can be termed scheduled district, such as the Chittagong Hill Tracts. There are 59 Sub-division, 411 Thanas or police Stations, 64,523 Villages, 4,046 Union Councils, 191 union Committees & 28 Town Committees.
