Jatiya Kabi Kazi
Nazrul Islam University
Trishal, Mymensingh
Bangladesh.
 This is the first and only public university established in memory of
great national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam of Bangladesh. It is situated in a
place popularly known as Battala (shade of banyan tree) at
Trishal Upazilla headquarters in the district of Mymensingh. The name of
the place Battala derives from the legendary banyan tree under
which the poet passed his childhood times playing flute and developing a
poetic mind amidst the the benign nature around during his one-year stay
at Trishal. The campus of the university still holds on that beauty of
nature having an effect of inculcating among its dwellers
imaginative-innovative mindsets.
The
university was established by the Government of Bangladesh on 01 March
2005, though the initiative was taken some years before firstly by a
non-official group of socio-cultural local elites - Greater Mymensingh
Cultural Forum. The university was originally conceived to be the first
culture-based university in Bangladesh, but the University Act of 2006
made it a general university with a special focus on liberal arts
education and activities. The academic programme of the university
started effective from 03 June 2007 with four departments under two faculties,
i.e., the three Departments of Bengali Language & Literature, English Language &
Literature, and Music under the Faculty of Arts and the single Department of
Computer Science and Engineering under the Faculty of Science & Engineering. Two
more departments were established beginning in the next year under two new
faculties i.e., the Department of Accounting and Information Systems under the
Faculty of Business Administration and the Department of Economics under the
Faculty of Social Science. Two another departments are opened in the
academic year 2009-2010 under two faculties i.e., the Department of Finance and
Banking under the Faculty of Business Administration and the Department of Fine
Arts under the Faculty of Arts. The university possesses a duly qualified and
productive band of youthful faculty members and officers/staffs who are
deeply committed to the university’s mission to produce world class graduates in
academic disciplines of social science, humanities, science and business
administration - whose services and dedications are urgently needed for the
reconstruction of this country.
The university has just started, still miles to go to attain its vision
and mission. It is therefore most important that everyone should work
together to transform this university into a ‘Centre of Academic
Excellence’ for promotion and enrichment of this country’s cultural
heritage and human values for which the national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam
relentlessly fought through his writings and songs.
