Union Parishad or Union is the lowest administrative unit of the rural area of ​​Bangladesh. In 1870 under the Village Chowkidari Act, the union was formed in 1870 to initiate some rural bodies. Under this Act, a village is formed for each village to start the guard patrol system. The details of the formation of the union are recorded in the second and third phase of Bengal Chowkidari Manuil. The concept of a local government unit was created through the development of this process. In the initial stage, its role was limited to security activities, and in later times it became the basis of the local government primary unit. [1] There are now 4554 unions in Bangladesh. [2]

 

Structure structure
Each union-based village is divided into 9 wards on the basis of population and one person is elected from the presidency ward and one from the three wards is elected in the direct vote of the people of the respective areas. Also a chairman from the whole union was elected. As a result, union council was formed with 1 chairman and 12 members. There is also a secretary, some Ansar, etc. to help in the activities of the council. [4]
