The Bede community is a small part of the population of Bangladesh. According to a survey by the Department of Social Services, there are about 75,702 Vedic communities in Bangladesh. The nomadic community is known as the Vedic community. 99 percent of the Bede population are Muslims and 90 percent are illiterate. Among the Bede communities divided into 8 tribes are Malbede, Sapuria, Bajikar, Sandar, Tola, Mirshikari, Burial Sanda and Gain Bede etc. Their main occupations are petty trading, selling amulets and charms, treating snake bites, catching snakes, showing snake plays, selling snakes, spiritual health services, planting horns, selling herbal medicines, performing poetry, monkey plays, magic shows etc.
Brief Background of the Programme: The current government has undertaken various programs to integrate the Bede community as a backward community into the mainstream of society with the aim of implementing the key mantra of SDG “No one should be left behind”. From the financial year 2012-13 to 2018-19, the two programs for improving the quality of life of the backward and backward communities were together. In the financial year 2019-20, this program is being separated and is being run as an independent program called "Bede Population Development Program".
