About Jagannath University
Jagannath University as a govt. financed full pledged public
university of Bangladesh is situated in the southern part of the city of Dhaka
near the Buriganga. This prestigious educational establishment has a history of
about 156 years which started in 1858 when Dhaka Brahma School was founded in
1858 by Dinanath Sen, Prabhaticharan Roy, Anathbandhu Mallik and Brajasundar
Kaitra. The name Jagannath school was given by Kishorilal Chowdhury, the
Zamindar of Baliadi who took over the school in 1872 and renamed it after his
father's name. In 1884, it was raised to a second grade college. Law was one of
the first courses introduced in the college. A common management committee
administered the school and college until 1887, when the school section was
separated to form an independent school named Kishore Jubilee School. It is now
known as K L Jubilee School. The administration of the college was transferred
to a board of trustees in 1907. In the following year, it became a first grade
college.
The college started with only 48 students and in five years,
the roll raised to 396. In 1910, Raja Manmath Roy Chowdhury, the zamindar of
Santosh, tangail affiliated the Pramath-Manmath College of Tangail with
Jagannath College.It was known as the best equipped private college in Dhaka as
early as 1910. With the establishment of Dhaka University in 1921 the college
had to stop admission in Degree courses and was renamed Jagannath Intermediate
College. This status was changed after 28 years in 1949, when it reopened
Degree classes. The college was taken over by the government in 1968.
Jagannath College opened honours and masters programmes in
1975. That year the government once again took over the college and upgraded it
into a postgraduate college. In 1982, the college closed its programmes of
intermediate level.The college introduced evening shifts in 1992.The college
was transformed into the Jagannath University in 2005. At present the
University has 31 departments under 6 faculties. The faculties are Science,
Arts, Business Studies, Social Science, Law and Fine Arts. Now 460 teachers are
engaged in providing quality education of around 24,000 students on diversified
areas.
The teachers and students of the college took active part in
the Language Movement of the early 1950s, the mass movements of the 1960s and
the War of Liberation of the country in 1971. The college produced tens of
thousands graduates. Many of them have become famous at home and abroad. Noted
