District Administration is the apex office of a district at the present context of administrative setting of Bangladesh. It is the management of affairs within a district, which is the basic territorial unit of administration in the country. It is at this level that the common man comes into direct contact with the administration. The district falls under the charge of a district officer, called either Deputy Commissioner or District Collector or District Magistrate. This officer acts as the representative of the central government at this level. Like other district administrations of the country,District Administration Rangamati,widely known as the Office of the Deputy Commissioner is the representative of the cabinet in the Rangamati Hill District.
Evolution of Rangamati District Administration
Bangladesh bears a colonial legacy in its entire public administration system. Present day Bangladesh was part of the British Empire for almost two hundred years. In 1947Pakistani rulers replaced the British and dominated the area then known as East Pakistan until a bitter war in 1971 brought about an independent Bangladesh.
British Era
Chittagong Hill Tracts was a part of Chittagong District before 1860. The region was ruled by the Deputy Commissioner from Chittagong. CHT was segregated from Chittagong district and made a complete district in 1860. In 1859, a fort situated by the side of canal Kaptai was attacked and demolished by the tribal people from east. So, the then Divisional Commissioner of Chittagong decided to provide safety to the tribal people of the hill tracts and proposed to the governor of Bengal to segregate the region from regulation district Chittagong. The proposal was accepted and enacted on 1st August, 1860 by the Act XXII of the year. An officer entitled as superintendent was appointed. Captain McGrath was made the first Superintendent of the district to rule. He would execute British rule under the provision of the Divisional Commissioner of Chittagong. Designation of the ruler turned into Deputy Commissioner from Superintendent in 1867. First Administrative head-quarter of the district was setup at chandraghona in 1863. But the head quarter transferred to Rangamati from chandraghona in 1868 and come into effect in the following year. Capt. T.H Lewin was the first Deputy Commissioner who moved to Rangamati permanently. But in 1891 CHT lost its position as a district because of the conquest of the lussai Hill by the British. Which reduced the importance of Chittagong Hill Tracts as a District. It was made a sub-division of Chittagong district and given the authority to rule to an Assistant Commissioner. But in 1900, a regulation named Chittagong Hill Tracts regulation 1900 was formulated to administer the area and the position of CHT as a district was reinstated. Officer in charge of the district became Superintendent again. At this time, the District was divided into three sub-divisions such as Rangamati, Bandarban & Ramghar. A sub-divisional officer was appointed to each sub-division. Three more sub-divisions were created by three different gazettes in 1979. In 1920, the CHT regulation 1900 was amended and the ruler of the district was renamed as the Deputy Commissioner and an ICS officer was appointed as the Deputy Commissioner of-CHT. Sub-ordinate officers of the Deputy Commissioner were termed as Deputy Magistrate or Deputy Collector and Sub-Deputy Magistrate or Sub-Deputy Collector.
Pakistan Era
In 1960, under the provision of Basic Democracy 11 Thana porishad and 39 union porishad were created in the CHT. Later this thana was renamed as upozilla. Kaptai hydro power station was established in 1960 which brought radical change in the socio economic aspects of the people. More than 0.1 million people were affected by this project.
