Although the then [[Rajbari District]] was identified as a neglected underdeveloped area, there were no higher educational institutions to fullfil people's desire for education. Many students had to be admitted to [[Government Rajendra College|Government Rajendra College, Faridpur]], [[Kushtia Government College]], Magura Suhrawardy College and other far-flung colleges of the country. The matter stirred the minds of the people of the area. In this regard, Kazi Hedayet Hossain, Dr. AKM Aszad, Dr. SM Yahya, Amalkrishna Chakraborty, Vrindavan Das, Fazlul Haque Muktar, Advocate Abul Kashem Mridha, Advocate Abdul Jalil Mia, Dr. Jalilur Rahman, Margub Ahmed, Dr. Azahar Uddin, AH Hanif Mollah (Goaland) took initiative to establish colleges especially at the local level.<ref name="rajbarigovtcollege.edu.bd">{{Cite web|url=http://rajbarigovtcollege.edu.bd/rajbari-blog/|title=Rajbari Govt Collage Website}}</ref>
