Rajbari Government College (Bengali: রাজবাড়ী সরকারি কলেজ) is a public college situated in Rajbari Sadar Upazila, Bangladesh. Established in 1961 as Rajbari College, it was nationalised in 1980.




History


Civil servant and educationist Quazi Azhar Ali established the college as Rajbari College in 1961.
Half a kilometer west of Rajbari railway station, the two-storied building of the Baptist Mission, along with 48 decimals (0.48 acre) of land, was transferred to the college's governing body. Through purchases and donations of adjacent parcels, the college's land would grow to 14 acres. The foundation stone was laid on 23 June 1961 by the then Sub-Divisional Officer Quazi Azahar Ali. The college began with a humanities and commerce department. A science department was added in 1963. Enrollment increased faster than classroom space, so in 1963 classes were held at Goalanda Model High School. A two-storied academic building was completed in 1964.
The college was nationalised on 1 March 1980, becoming Rajbari Government College. Departments of Bengali, management, political science, and zoology were introduced for the 1996–1997 academic year. They were followed in 1998-1999 by departments of accounting, botany, chemistry, economics, English, history, mathematics, and physics. In the 2015–2016 academic year honors courses in philosophy and Islamic history and culture were added.
