UNO works as chief executive officer of an upazila parishad for executing all decisions taken by the upazila parishad and ensuring financial disciplines of the funds of upazila parishad and representative of the government of Bangladesh in the upazila level for performing retained activities to the government of Bangladesh, non-transferred and controlling activities.[2]
The role of the UNO was created in accordance with a decision by the military regime of Lieutenant GeneralHussain Muhammad Ershad.[1] In 1982, the Ershad government constituted a committee for administrative reorganization and reform. One of the committee's major recommendations was to create a representative body called upazila porishod (council) under a directly elected chair. The government created the position of thana nirbahi officer or TNO (thana executive officer) later renaming it upazila nirbhahi officer (UNO)—in each of the existing thanas (later upgraded and renamed upazila) outside the metropolitan areas.
About the same time subdivisions were upgraded and converted into districts, responsibility for all development activities at the local level was transferred to the upazila porishads. it was also decided that the UNO should continue to chair the upazila porishads until an elected chair took office.
UNOs were normally posted from among the officers ranked as "senior assistant secretary" of the BCS Administration cadre.[3]
