Organization Profile

About Organization: National Institute of Map of Bangladesh Surveying Department In 1767, the organization started its journey in Bengal Survey. In 1905, the Survey of India was divided into two separate institutions named Topographical Survey and Directorate of Land Records and Surveys. After the end of British rule in 1947, the two establishments of Survey of Pakistan and Survey of India were established in Pakistan and India respectively, and the Regional Offices of Survey of Pakistan were established in Comilla the same year. In 1958, the provincial headquarters of the Survey of Pakistan was transferred to Tejgaon in Dhaka. After the emergence of Bangladesh through the Great War of Liberation in 1971, Survey of Bangladesh and Bangladesh Surveying Department started its journey as a separate institution. These departments contribute to national development by supplying topographical maps / data on various scale of various public / private development organizations / stakeholders. Tidal Station was established in 1993 in Rangadia, Chittagong, to assess the average sea level of Bangladesh, and the average sea level of the Tidal station is measured by measuring the elevation of the whole country (height from the average sea surface). Digital map began to be formulated in this department in 1998. Topographic map of 1: 25,000 scale including the GIS database of the entire country has been prepared. District map, departmental map etc. has been formulated under various SDCC projects. The entire Bangladesh has been brought under the geodetic network. Six GNSS CORS have been set up in 6 places (Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Rangpur and Maulvibazar) and more than 73 locations are in the process of setting up GNSS CORS. In the meantime, the Bangladesh Surveying Department has developed efficient manpower by implementing various development projects, using foreign training and modern equipment, and data collection and map preparation has been in progress. The Bangladesh Surveillance Department has established a digital mapping center with the latest machinery at Dhamalkot, Mirpur. Currently, any demanding online provider is provided for the payment of the coordinates of Geodetic Control Points. In continuation of this, the activities are continuing so that users can download and use various maps of the map from the Directorate's website. Moreover, the department is currently working on the construction of geopolitical works. Due to the establishment of the most modern KUMURI and KBA machines, there has been a breakthrough in the map printing of the department. As a result, the Bangladesh Surveys Department has achieved the capability to print around 10 thousand copies of four color map per hour. It is to be noted that the Directorate of Bangladesh Surveys has been printing the map according to the needs of various government and non-government organizations. The Directorate of Bangladesh Survey has been preparing and supplying geospatial data in a short time using the latest technology as per the needs of stakeholders. Through the use of Radio Link technology, data stored on two different servers of Tejgaon and Mirpur Damalkot office are being provided, which is protected by Dedicated Firewall. In view of the growing demand of the country, these departments constantly collect geographical information and enrich its information store.
