Sylhet (সিলেট) also known as Greater Sylhet or Sylhet region, is the
northeastern division of Bangladesh,
named after its main city, Sylhet. It is bordered by the Meghalaya, Assam and Tripura states of
India to the
north, east and south, respectively; and by the Bangladesh divisions of Chittagong to the southwest and Dhaka
to the west.
Sylhet is considered one of the most
picturesque and archaeologically rich regions in South Asia,
and has major Islamic
Sufi shrines and Hindu holy sites. Its
bourgeoning economy has contributed to the regional attractions of landscapes
filled with fragrant orange and pineapple gardens, and tea plantations.
Many Sylhet community members have found work and residence abroad,
particularly in the United Kingdom. They send remittances to fund projects
and industries within the Sylhet Division, which have led to the expansion of
the export industry and foreign investment sectors.
