Jahangirnagar University

Historical Background

Jahangirnagar University is situated at Savar, the capital of the Sambhog principality and a flourishing Buddhist center of learning in the seventh and eighth centuries AD. Recent exca­vations have confirmed the existence of a Buddhist establishment consisting of a huge stupa and a large monastery with subsidiary structures in the courtyard dating back to the seventh century.  

With the establishment of the University, Savar is gradually regaining its past glory. The National Monument, symbolic of the nation's highest and the most exalted sacrifice in its struggle for independence, gives the place a unique significance. Other institutions of national importance that have gradually grown up around the campus include : the Atomic Energy Commission, the Savar Cantonment, BKSP, the Public Administration Training Centre, the Livestock Research Institute and the Export Processing Zone.

The University, named after the old name of Dhaka city, was established in 1970 by the Jahangirnagar Muslim University Ordinance, 1970 (later amended as Jahangirnagar University Act, 1973). The University happens to be the only fully residential university in the country.

Location

 Located on the Asian Highway, popularly known as the Dhaka Aricha Road, the University is only 32 kilometers away from Dhaka, and is sandwiched by the National Monument and the Public Administration Training Centre.

The insignia

The insignia of the University has a Shapla, the national flower, with three petals standing erect on its stem. It is bordered on all four sides by four strips of traditional alpana design of the same size and pattern. The name of the University written in Bangla characters hangs below in semicircle like a wreath of flowers. Designed by Kalam Mahmud, the insignia is rooted deep in our folk culture and is reminiscent of our struggle for independence which gave the Shapla its status as national flower. The three petals in the flower may be taken to symbolize learning, truth and progress and the firm stem, which holds the petals fast and erect, may by taken to symbolize the determination with which these goals are pursued.
