Government Watch
ministry
The Ministry is focused on rebuilding and reforming the civil service while managing a massive recruitment drive to fill nearly half a million vacancies.
Issued notification for ex-Bangladesh leave for a government medical official.
State Minister announced a master plan to fill 468,220 vacant government positions.
Inaugurated the Online Pension Tracking and Management System (OPTMS).
State Minister defended the government's budget and market management in Parliament.
Approved the creation of three new upazilas and one police station at the 121st NICAR meeting.
No full minister assigned to MoPA in the Tarique Rahman cabinet (sworn in 2026-02-17); Md Abdul Bari (State Minister, Joypurhat-2) is the most senior political head. Senior Secretary Ahsanul Haq is the administrative head. The ministry has no published standalone annual budget figure in Bangladesh's budget documents; the 10.2% public administration share in the FY2025-26 national budget (Tk 7,90,000 crore) covers the entire sector, not MoPA alone, so annual_budget_bdt is left null. The BPSC, though supervised by MoPA, is a constitutional body under Article 137-141 and maintains separate autonomous status. The Public Administration Reform Commission (PARC) submitted its report on 2025-02-05 with 200+ recommendations; key ones include renaming BCS Administration Cadre as 'Bangladesh Administrative Service', creating a Superior Executive Service (SES) for secretariat postings with 50% quota from admin cadre and 50% from other services, reducing ministries from 43 to 25, and separating BCS Education and Health from the cadre system. Implementation is in early stages as of May 2026. Verification: all named officials, dates, and figures cross-checked across 2+ independent primary sources (The Daily Star, BSS, Dhaka Tribune, Prothom Alo, UNDP, TBS News).
