Saukipur is a district in the Chittagong sub-district of southeastern Bangladesh, located near the country's borders with India and Myanmar, and is dominated by agriculture and natural beauty. The region has a tropical monsoon climate with abundant annual precipitation, making it suitable for rice, tea and other crops. With a population of about 300,000, it is predominantly Bengali, and most of the inhabitants practice Islam and have a strong cultural tradition.
The economy of Saukipur is centered on agriculture, producing rice, jute and tropical fruits, with small-scale fishing and forestry in some areas. Infrastructure is relatively weak, but in recent years the government is promoting rural roads and electricity. Local handicrafts such as bamboo weaving and textiles are also well known, but industrial development is more limited.
Saukipur is connected to Chittagong City by road and has no railroad or airport, relying mainly on cars and three-wheelers for transportation. Tourism potential is centered on natural landscapes such as hills, rivers and forests, which are suitable for eco-adventures, but tourist facilities are not yet well developed and few tourists visit the city.
Saukipur retains a traditional Bengali village lifestyle and festivals such as Eid and Harvest Festival are celebrated with great fervor. Education and healthcare resources are relatively scarce, but there is a strong sense of community cohesion. Overall, it is a quiet and developing fringe area.
