The Dhaka National Medical College inherits her glorious predecessor the
Dhaka National Medical Institute, which was established in 1925 as a part of
Non-cooperation movement of the Indian Sub-continent against the British
colonial rule, organized jointly by the Indian National Congress and the Indian
Muslim League under the Leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, Mawlana
Muhammad Ali and Mawlana Sawkat Ali.
Along with other programs the Non-cooperation movement urged upon the
People of the sub-continent to boycott educational institutions established
and administered by British Govt. and to establish National Schools, Colleges
and Institutes for modern scientic education by the local people themselves.
