Government Zamindar College, Gujrat is a government college located in the Gujrat District of Punjab, Pakistan. The college also offers postgraduate courses.
History
It was founded as Cold Stream Zamindar School by Nawab Sir Fazal Ali, grandfather of Nawabzada Ghazanfar Ali Gul and Nawabzada Mazhar Ali. In 1936, it was upgraded into a college.
Zamindar College's mosque
The mosque's foundation was laid by then governor of West Pakistan, Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar, in 1950. The mosque, modeled after Lahore's historic Badshahi Masjid, features a main hall measuring 120 by 67 feet.
In 2011, during renovation a dome collapsed which led the Government of Punjab to label the entire college and remaining five domes as hazardous. As a result, the college administration ordered their demolition and closed the main hall, following engineering advice regarding potential structural failure.
