History
Pabna Zilla School was established as an Anglo-Vernacular[1] type of school named Hardinge School between 1836-1840.[2][3] The founder of the school was Babu Digombor Saha[4] and he was assisted by Babu RadhaGobinda Mitra. Babu Ramchandra Nandi was the headmaster during the period 1844–1853. On 1 November 1853 the school became a government Public school (government funded)[5] and was named Pabna Zilla School. In 1966-1967 the number of students were 717.[6][7]
On behalf of the National Mohammedan Association, the opening assembly of Pabna Zilla School's Muslim Boarding Hall was held on 11 January 1899. Abul Mahmud, the erstwhile Deputy Magistrate of Pabna, gave a speech. The construction of that student hall was primarily funded by the three brother Zamindars of Dulai (Husayn Jan Chowdhury, Fasiluddin Abdul Ghani Chowdhury and Abdul Basit Chowdhury), the Nawab of Dhaka Khwaja Ahsanullah and the Nawab of Dhanbari Syed Nawab Ali Chowdhury. At that time, the branch's assistant editor was Alimuddin.[8]
