Summary
DescriptionSir Salimullah Muslim Orphanage, Ajimpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh.jpg |
English: Sir Salimullah Muslim Orphanage was established in 1909. The founding name was Islamia Orphanage. Its founder was Nawab Sir Salimullah. An orphanage was established in a rented house in Kumartuli next to Ahsan Manzil. Since Nawab Sir Salimullah Bahadur established it in 1909 with the intention of establishing Muslim orphans in the society and to build their bright future and to ensure their education, sustenance and religious and social education and then lead the best life, therefore the name of the institution will be - "Sir Salimullah". Muslim Orphanage” will be in English - SIR SALIMULLAH MUSLIM ORPHANAGE. In 1913, the Governor of Bengal Lord Carmichael (1912-1917) visited the orphanage and donated 1000 rupees for its management. In addition to this, he arranged for the settlement of government land. At that time, a permanent residence of the orphanage was built by taking a piece of government land adjacent to Gor Shaheed Mosque in Amlapara. Nawab Salimullah bore most of the cost of this construction. After the death of Nawab Salimullah in 1915, the orphanage faced financial crisis. At that time, many people in Dhaka provided financial support. At this time the orphanage was named Sir Salimulrah Orphanage. A few steps down the path of the garden is a one-storied building with a dome in the middle. At first glance, one might think that Dhaka University is a Curzon Hall. But actually it is Sir Salimullah Muslim Orphanage. This building in Azimpur was built in 1930. This old picture was found in the main building of the orphanage. On August 10, 1931, Lady Jackson, wife of Bengal Governor Sir Stanley Jackson, inaugurated this building. But the Sir Salimullah Orphanage was built in 1909. It was built by Khwaja Salimullah. Banglapedia, the national encyclopedia, says that Khwaja Salimullah broke through the walls of nobility from his childhood and mingled with all classes of people. After the death of his father Nawab Sir Khwaja Ahsanullah in 1901, he became the surviving eldest son of Dhaka Nawab. In 1909, Nawab Sir Salimullah Ahsan established the orphanage in a rented house in Kumartuli next to Manzil. As the size of the Orphanage increased, it was shifted to Azimpur near Lalbagh in 1913. That year, Governor Lord Carmichael visited the orphanage. Nawab Salimullah paid all the expenses of the orphanage till his death. After his death in 1915, the orphanage fell into financial crisis. At that time, many people in Dhaka provided financial support. At this time the orphanage was named Sir Salimullah Orphanage. In 1923, when the institution fell into financial crisis again, Salimullah's first son, Nawab Khaja Habibullah Bahadur, was made the president of the orphanage committee and Maulvi Chowdhury Farid Uddin was made the general secretary. This committee bought 21 bigha land at the present site of Azimpur and established the orphanage there. After the death of Nawab Khawaja Habibullah in 1958, his son Major Nawab Khawaja Hasan Askari became the president of the orphanage. He ran the orphanage till 1979 but later left the country. The committee has already changed several times. In 2003, the students went to court when the management committee of the time handed over two bighas of the orphanage's land to a construction company. The court asked to return the premises with the building to the orphanage. On January 2, 2008, the government abolished the committee and placed the management of the Salimullah Orphanage under the Department of Social Services. Currently Dhaka District Commissioner is looking after the orphanage. Orphans from KG to high school can study in this orphanage. The students here are now in various important places of the state. After Eden College, Azimpur Road is still known as Orphanage Road. Anyone can visit this century-old orphanage. |
