History
[edit]Government Maulana Mohammad Ali College was established in 1957 by Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani and was named after Mohammad Ali Jouhar, an important leader of the Khilafat movement of British India. The school was initially located at an used government office. In 1958, in the aftermath of the Bengali language movement, a martyr's memorial was erected on campus.[4] During the 1969 East Pakistan mass uprising one student was killed and ten were injured on 4 February when the East Pakistan Rifles opened fire on a demonstration.[5] During the Bangladesh Liberation war, a former professor of the college, Abdul Khaleque, was in the local pro-Pakistan militia, the Razakars. He is responsible for war crimes and forcibly converting Hindus into Muslims.[6]
Education is essential for building a sophisticated society and self-reliant nation, a truth deeply understood by Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani. After the 1957 Kagmari Conference, Bhashani established Maulana Mohammad Ali College in Kagmari to promote education and improve the lives of the poor. The college, named after his political mentor, gained national recognition and attracted students from across the country. Nationalized in 1975 by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the college became a key institution for education. Along with academics, it focuses on character development through activities like Rover Scouts, Red Crescent, BNCC, sports, cultural events, and national celebrations. The college's scenic campus, with its vast playground and green surroundings, fosters patriotism and idealism, shaping students into future citizens and leaders.
