Geography
Mymensingh Sadar is located at 24.7500°N 90.4167°E. It has 167,472 units of household and its total area is 380.72 km2. The River Brahmaputra just crosses the section of Mymensingh.[6] A hundred plus years ago the river was widened 5–10 km and now it is a seasonal flow, not an ever-flowing river. A huge land recovered from this riverbed for a hundred years named 'chars' is a big part of Mymensingh and as it was riverine land regular seasonal flood water namely from the Garo hills of Meghalaya of India flash up to these chars. Flooding by seasonal reasons for refreshing fertility of land and a trend of native fishes add some protein budget assistance in these poor CHAR villages.
