Maulana Azad College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maulana Azad College is located in central Calcutta, West Bengal. It is a government college and affiliated to University of Calcutta. The college offers both post graduate and under-graduate courses.

Maulana Azad College was founded on 9 December 1926 by Victor Bulwer-Lytton, 2nd Earl of Lytton, then Governor of Bengal. It was originally called Islamia College. The institution was the culmination of efforts of notable Muslim leaders like A. K. Fazlul Huq, Syed Nawad Ali Choudhury and Sir Abdul Rahim. The objective was upliftment of Muslims of Bengal.

After the independence of India on 15 August 1947, the West Bengal government decided to rename the college Central Calcutta College. Later in 1960 the college was renamed Maulana Azad College in memory of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding president of Bangladesh, is a notable former student of this college.
