Chittagong Government Women's College is a government owned college only for women. It is located at Nasirabad area in Chittagong. It was established in 1957.[1]
The purpose of establishing a women's institution was offering education to the women in restrictive families in Bangladesh. Thus some social reformers and educationalists tried to make an institution only for women in Chittagong. Thus they founded Chittagong Government Women's College. Its academic and administrative works started in Victoria Islamic Hostel just beside the Andarkilla Shahi Jame Mosque. In the beginning, it started its activities with only 150 students and 8 teachers. The teachers taught without any salary. The first principal of this institution was Sri Jogesh Chandra Singha. Badsha Mia Chowdhury and some social reformers offered 20 acres land for this institution at Khulshi area in Chittagong. In 1961/1962, the institution moved here from its initial place. It nationalized in 1968. Business studies group started in 2006–2007.
