Dhaka Residential Model College

he Dhaka Residential Model College (DRMC as its acronym) is an abode of academic excellence offering a congenial educational environment where the young learners not only study properly but also learn good manners and etiquette to become good human beings with refined tastes. Spreading over 52 acres of land in its present premises of Mohammadpur, this unique institution came into being in the year 1960 with the name of Dhaka Residential Model School as modelled on the famous public school of England, particularly similar to Eton College in order to provide education for the children of the army officers. Though the college wing had been launched in 1967, the institution was renamed as Dhaka Residential Model College much later in 1984. The Education Minister of the erstwhile government of Pakistan, Mr. Habibur Rahman, inaugurated the official functions of the school on 6 May, 1960. Initially, the authority of running the school was vested on the then Central Government of Pakistan. Later in 1962, the Central Government handed over the responsibility of the school to the Provincial Government of East Pakistan. In the year 1965, a high-powered governing body was formed with the appointment of the Chief Secretary of the Provincial Government as Chairman and the governing body was entrusted with the authority to run the school.
