The electronic automation through Internet is urgently needed to meet the requirements of 21st Century as a cutting-edge technology. This website reflects the Pourashava's on-going efforts to communicate effectively with the people of Bangladesh and worldwide.

Pourashava is always committed to make the best use of its potentialities for well being of the citizens of Moulvibazar. Through this website pourashava's services would be more easily available at the doorsteps of city dwellers.
I hope this venture will minimize the distance between the city dwellers and the pourashava, the heart of the Moulvibazar Town. Further, I believe that pourashava's information services would reach every house in the city, where there is a Personal Computer (PC).
This website of pourashava will continue to function and expand over the period time. Finally, I expect that the poura dwellers and peoples living abroad will visit this website and let us know their comments which would help us in updating the website regularly.
