Public college in Rangpur, Bangladesh
Rangpur Government College (abbreviated as RGC) is a public educational institution in Rangpur, Bangladesh. It was established on July 25, 1963.[1] It is situated in Radaballav, within one kilometer from the town center. Currently, the college offers HSC, graduate (pass) courses, bachelor’s (honours) courses in 14 subjects, and postgraduate courses in 7 subjects. According to the 2024 data, a total of 11,375 students are currently studying here.[2]
In 1963, when it was turned into a government institution, the number of student seats in Carmichael College became limited. In this situation, the absence of a college providing education to the extended number of students was intensely felt. In this circumstance, some philanthropists, including Fulle Hossain, the then District Commissioner O.M. Carnie, Assistant District Commissioner Abdus Sattar, District Education Officer Tahemidur Rahman, advocate Abul Khan, Amin Hossain, Abul Salek, Moin Uddin Sarker, et. al. come forward to set up a college. Some rich people also gave necessary land to establish the college immediately. Finally, on July 25, 1963, it was established. The college was launched as a night college at Koilash Ranjan High School and as a day college at the Zamindarbari (Kalidham) of Ram Babu.[3] From its establishment till 1992, it was under the supervision of Rajshahi University. It became a government college on November 1, 1984. It came under Bangladesh National University in 1993.
The college, with its four academic buildings, stands on 5.26 acres of land. It has two hostels for students. The female hostel can accommodate 100 students, while the male hostel, namely Shahid Moslem Uddin Chattrabas, is obsolete now. Some extracurricular activities based student organizations are also functioning on the campus. These are the voluntary blood donation related club Badhon, Debating Club, Rover Scout, Bangladesh National Cadet Corps (BNCC), Red Crescent Society, etc.
Currently, about 11,375 HSC, honors, and master’s level students are enrolled in the college in regular and irregular sessions, 2700 of them being HSC students. The number of teachers is 62. There are three main branches of study in this college: science, arts, and commerce. Fourteen honors level subjects are offered in this college.
