A brief history of the traditional poet Nazrul Government College During
the tenure of the Lieutenant Governor of Bengal, Sir George Campbell,
with the approval of the Madrasa Reforms Committee, three new madrasas
were established in Dhaka, Chittagong and Rajshahi in 1874 on the model
of the Calcutta Alia Madrasa with the money from the Mohsin Fund.
Although the newly established madrasas were named Mohsinia Madrasas in
homage to Haji Mohammad Mohsin, the madrasas established in Dhaka became
widely known as Dhaka Madrasas.
