Bangladesh Parbatya Chattagram Juba Samiti

The Bangladesh Parbatya Chattagram Juba Samiti (BPCJS) is a regional political organization in Bangladesh, primarily representing the rights and interests of the indigenous peoples in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Founded in 1972, it advocates for social justice, cultural preservation, and political autonomy for the indigenous communities. The group emerged in response to historical marginalization and issues arising from national policies affecting land use, resource management, and cultural identity. BPCJS seeks to address these challenges and promote development while preserving the unique heritage of the indigenous populations in the region.
