It is one of the five government colleges in the Natore District, and the third oldest, established before the War of 1971 and the Independence of the country[1]. Although it was a private college of the aristocratic Singranatore family, in 1986, the then President and former military ruler, HM Ershad announced that it would be made into a public college. Since then it is under the Ministry of Education of the Government of Bangladesh[2].
