History

Bhawal Badre Alam Government College was established on 1 July 1967 as Bhawal College. It was renamed after Badare Alam, who had donated 100 thousand rupees to the college.[2]

In December 2014 the Government imposed section 144, curfew, on the grounds of Bhawal College after the Bangladesh Nationalist Party called a rally in support of their movement towards a snap election and the Bangladesh Chhatra League announced plans to stop that rally.[3]

On 29 July 2017, the National University examination centre was shifted out of Bhawal College, without any prior notice, so that a local Awami League could hold a rally in Bhawal College.[4]
