The Chittagong Hill Tract
The Chittagong Hill Tract (CHT) located in southeastern Bangladesh, occupies a physical area of 5093 square miles, which accounts for 10 percent of the total land area of Bangladesh, and is estimated to be populated by approximately 1.3 million people. The region comprises the three districts of Rangamati, Khagrachhari, and Bandarban, is a unique territory in that it forms part of the only mountainous area in the country, distinguished by very steep and rugged terrain, and is home to 11 ethnic communities with each having their own distinct language, tradition, and culture, and Bengalis who have settled from the plains. UNDP assesses the condition of the people thus: “The majority of CTH people live in chronic poverty; under-employment and illiteracy and an overall lack of economic opportunity is endemic; and the proper function of social services is inhibited, with serious consequences for all inhabitants.” This estimation eloquently sums up the problems that the people in that region are faced with in economic and human development.
