History[edit]
Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College was established on 11 November 1949 as the Quaid-i-Azam College.[2] Professor Syed Zahir Ahsan of the Bihar Provincial Service became the first principal of the college in 1950.[2] On 15 April 1954, A. M. A. R. Fatemi became principal of the college.[2]
The Governor of East Pakistan, A. K. Fazlul Huq, inaugurated science courses in 1956.[2] Governor of East Pakistan, Zakir Husain, inaugurated graduate courses at the college.[2]
After the Independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the college was renamed from Quaid-i-Azam College to Shaheed Suhrawardy College.[2] In 1984, the college was nationalized and government added to the name.[2]
In September 2005, the president of the college unit of the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal was gunned down in the college.[3]
Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College is one of seven affiliated colleges under the University of Dhaka since 2017.[4][5] The other affiliated colleges are Begum Badrunnesa Government Girls' College, Dhaka College, Eden Mohila College, Government Bangla College, Government Titumir College, and Kabi Nazrul Government College.[5] The affiliation has drawn criticism from students of the University of Dhaka and the affiliated colleges who claim that the University of Dhaka does not have the manpower to run the seven colleges.[5][6][7]
