History, Situation and Infrastructure: Graced with natural beauty, the port city of Chittagong is known as the queen of beauty of the East. But in order to transform a city which lags behind in the sectors of education and culture, into the centre point of wisdom and knowledge, the first step is to increase the opportunities and facilities of acquiring education and knowledge.

In 1994 the Mayor of Chittagong City Corporation identified education as the prerequisite for national progress increasing the number of schools and upgraded a couple of girls’ schools into girls’ colleges. At present Chittagong City Corporation runs a full-pledged Premier University, 09 colleges amongst which 03 are degree colleges, 01 computer institute, 04 computer colleges, 01 Institute of Health and Technology, 43 high schools, 06 kindergartens, 02 primary schools, and about 600 Forkania madrashas.
