Government Bangla College is a government funded educational institution, located in the north-west part of the capital city of Dhaka in Bangladesh. The college was established on 1 October 1962 by Principal Abul Kashem to promote the use of the Bangla in higher education and to establish the language in all spheres of national life of Bangalis.HistoryThe Perspective of NomenclatureThis college has been named "Bangla College" especially at a time when Bangla has become a medium of instruction in nearly all spheres of higher education. Though in the present context this name does not bear any significance, the scenario was quite different in the past. In the time of erstwhile Pakistan English was the medium of instruction in all spheres of higher education. Besides Urdu was introduced as a medium of instruction into a Urdu medium high school at Mirpur while a Urdu medium college was established in Karachi. In such circumstances some eminent scholars of this country wanted to set up a Bangla University so as to encourage the students to study in Bangla Medium as well as to make the practice of science popular. They wanted to counter the establishment of Urdu college. The establishment of Bangla College was the first step in this regard. At a time when English was used in all colleges, Bangla was then used only in this college. So, the nomenclature was appropriate and significant. When this college was established in 1962, the professors at this college of different subjects prepared their respective lectures and cyclostyled each lecturer in Bangla to provide them for the learners. After necessary correction and addition, those subject-based notes were published in the form of books. Thus, the trend of use of Bangla in higher education was gradually diffused all over the country. In this regard, Bangla College has remained a herald to introduce Bangla as the medium of instruction into the then colleges and universities of this country.
