The post of Divisional Commissioner was created in 1829 during the time of British rule in India. Due to a lack of effective control in the departmental revenue administration of a division, and lack of proper control and coordination of the work between the divisional judiciary and the revenue system, the Board of Revenue for divisions were abolished, in favor of the post of Divisional Commissioner. In its present form, the Office of the Divisional Commissioner exists as a post in the Ministry of Public Administration of Bangladesh. Recruitment
