The BICS has a central secretariat, comprising eight members. In addition, the BICS has established 6 divisions countrywide: Dhaka Division, Chittagong Division, Sylhet Division, Rajshahi Division, Khulna Division and Barisal Division. Each division has several districts and other units under its jurisdiction.Zahidur Rahman is the Central President of the BICS. Rezaul Karim is the Secretary General of the outfit.
