Barisal (Bengali: বরিশাল বিভাগ) is one of the seven administrative divisions of Bangladesh. Located in the south-central part of the country, it has an area of 13,644.85 km2 (5,268.31 sq mi), and a population of 8,147,000 at the 2011 Census (preliminary returns). It is bounded by Dhaka division on the north, the Bay of Bengal on the south, Chittagong division on the east and Khulna division on the west. The administrative capital, Barisal city, lies in the Ganges (Padma) River delta on an offshoot of the Arial Khan River
(Kirtonkhola). Barisal division is criss-crossed by numerous rivers
that earned her the nickname 'Dhan-Nodi-Kaal, Ei tine Barisal' (rice,
river and canal built Barisal).
The Greater Barisal region (BarisaL District along with five other neighbouring districts) was created as Barisal Division on 1 January 1993.[1]
