There was no high school within 6 km area of this village and no education for the girls. In Jan, 1995, as approved by the Government, Begum Hamida Siddique Secondary School was established by Al-haj Nurul Islam Siddique - a renowned social leader in Kushtia with the support of ‘Siddique Foundation’. The school was started with 195 students and 6 teachers to impart education for students starting from class VI-VIII in a three-room tin shed building. In December, 1997, the school got approved by the Government as a Secondary School in Science, Commerce (with computer education) and Humanities. In 1996-97 financial year, construction of a four-storied building started. In 1998, the number of students increased to 493. With the aim to impart vocational training to the students side by side with traditional education, ‘Electrical Wiring’ and ‘Tailoring & Dress Making’ subjects were introduced later on in 1999, ‘Radio & TV’ subject was also started. To meet the demand of higher education in the rural area, two subjects were started in 1998 – Business Management and Computer technology. From the modest start, Begum Hamida Siddique Collegiate School now is a four-storied building equipped with all educational facilities and the school has reflected modern technological integration like solar panel for electrification and Wind Mills for lifting ground water for drinking purposes. Under the guidance of 21 strong teaching staff, the institute now has excelled in all walks of educational, social and native cultural life, sports and other extracurricular activities with 604 students now enrolled out of which 297 are girls students. The school is now not just an academic establishment. Along with the promotion of academic learning as its main function, the institution fosters moral development and uphold spiritual values in the forefront of its activities. This will be as true for the school in the future as it has been throughout its distinguished history. The goal remains not only to train the minds of young people, but also to imbibe them with such moral and spiritual characteristics that they will reflect throughout their lives the spirit of ‘Siddique Family’ and the principles of its faith in service to mankind.
