History:

Mymensingh is one of the largest districts of independent Bangladesh. Although the area of this district is now a little smaller, the various reputations of this district are still enviable. Especially the reputation of this district as an educational city is widely recognized. Alamgir Mansoor (Mintu) Memorial College is situated in the center of this district town. The path of the creation of this college is closely related to the 1969 mass education.

The year 1969 is a history of sorrow for the entire Bengali nation. There was a huge public outrage in Bangladesh and part of Pakistan against the then dictatorial Ayub government. The student-teacher crowd created a wave of marches in the streets in the struggle for rights. Alamgir Mansoor (Mintu), then a student of Nasirabad College, was a participant in one such procession in the city of Mymensingh. At a place called Phulbaria bus stand adjacent to the district school of Mymensingh city, when the front of the procession appeared, the ruthless rifle of the ruling party roared. The fresh Pran Mintu fell instantly. The college was established in the same year with the encouragement and initiative of prominent people of Mymensingh city to keep the pious memory of Mintu alive forever. The land and old building on which the college is built was originally a royal palace. The house of the zamindar of Taljangar in Kishoreganj district was occupied by the settlement office at that time.

It may be noted that the first activities of the college started in July 1969 in a jute warehouse. Later, the college campus was established by renting the Singha Marka house of Mr. Ali Saheb of Balashpur. Mr. Md. Matiur Rahman who actively participated in the 1971 liberation war was appointed as the founding principal. The outstanding contributors to the establishment of the college are Mr. Syed Nazrul Islam, the first President of independent Bangladesh (Mujibnagar Government), prominent politicians and social workers of Mymensingh, Mr. Md. Rafiq Uddin Bhuiyan, Mr. Md. Jobed Ali, Mr. Md. Hatim Ali Talukadar, Mr. Md. Abdur Razzaq, Mr. M. Shamshul Haque and many others. The college was shifted to the present campus in January 1972 immediately after independence.

Mymensingh city is famous as educational city. The educational institutions here are also ranked among the best educational institutions in the country at every level of secondary, higher secondary and higher education. As a result, intense competition is noticeable among the educational institutions of the city. In this competition, some institutions are strengthening their position by capitalizing on the past traditions and some institutions are taking place with their own efforts. Alamgir Mansoor (Mintu) Memorial College is one of them.
