Campus

Kabi Nazrul Govt. College is located on the old part of the Dhaka city. The campus is in southeast Dhaka at Municipality Street, just opposite the campus of the Jagannath University. The campus consists of dormitories, teachers’ quarters, individual residences for the principal and vice-principal, staff quarters, a small mosque, basketball and volleyball courts, an auditorium, an administrative building, and a full-size football field.

A monument has been built in front of Academic Building 1 to commemorate those killed during the Bengali Language Movement demonstrations of 1952. The Language Movement was a political effort in East Pakistan, advocating the recognition of the Bengali language as an official language of Pakistan.

History

Kabi Nazrul Govt. College was originally established at Dhaka by a grant from the Mohsin Fund in 1874 as Mohasania Madrasah in the model of Calcutta Alia Madrasah, and came to be known as Dhaka Madrasah. In 1915 it was converted into Dhaka High Madrasah. In the following year, its Anglo-Persian department got separated and became the Dhaka Government Muslim High School. With the establishment of the University of Dhaka in 1921, the school was upgraded into a college and got a new name, the Islamic Intermediate College.

It continued to operate as a school-cum-college till 1968, when the college section got separated to form a new institution named Government Islamia College Dhaka. After the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the college was renamed as Kabi Nazrul Government College in 1972, and in the same year, it was upgraded to a degree college.
