Background
In 1956, by-elections were held in one seat in Bhola and two in Pirojpur. Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy held public meetings in Barisal, Pirojpur, and Bhola. Responding to demands from local MLAs and community leaders, he pledged to establish one college each in Pirojpur, Patuakhali, and Bhola, and a women's college in Barisal. As part of this effort, the organizing committee of Patuakhali College was formed in 1956, and the college began operations on 5 June 1957. Initially, it operated on the current site of Patuakhali Government Women's College, although the women's college itself was not yet established. The women's college was formally established in 1966.[1]
