District Information Office (Hereinafter, referred as DIO) is a field office of Ministry of Information and Broadcast of the Govt. of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, directed and supervised by the Department of Mass Communication (one of several departments of the earlier mentioned ministry).  The Prime aim and goal of DIO is to inform, educate and motivate the huge backward group of people living in marginal areas of 68 thousand villages, particularly those who are residing beyond the range of newspaper and outside radio and TV network about policies of government programmes and different development activities. Simultaneously, it is also the responsibility of DIO to present problems and opinions of people to the govt. as feedback, working as a direct medium of communication between people and govt. Currently, there are 68 information offices, of which 64 in 64 districts and 4 in hill tracts Upazilas.

In this era of information and technology, the role and importance of the DIO is undesirable because the office uses popular media viz. arrangement of mass musical soiree, distribution of posters and booklets, arrangement meetings, press briefing, gathering etc. as well as modern audio-visual media. As a result, common people get a clear idea about activities of the govt. and they can associate themselves with the development of the country. People of grass root level get opportunity to come closer to representatives of the government who are engaged in these activities, their range of thinking become expanded through mutual exchange of views and mutual reliability is also increased. In this way DIO is performing a far ranging role in the development of the country by creating close relationship with the people.
