The emergence of Birshreshtha Munshi Abdur Rouf Public College dates back to January 01, 1984. It was founded with a view to imparting education to the wards of the Border Guard of Bangladesh(BGB) personnel. Colonel Maqbul Haider, the then Director (Communication) of BGB, played a pioneer role in the foundation of this institution. The Director-General of Bangladesh Rifles of that time Major General R A M Golam Muktadir's positive attitude helped Bangladesh Rifles High School start its journey. At the outset, the number of students was only 150, while the number of teachers was only 8 including the Headmaster and the Assistant Headmaster. It is needless to say that there was no infrastructure that can be mentioned here. At first, this institution got recognition as a Junior High School. Within a period of one year, it turned into a High School on January 01, 1985. Only 23 students (Science and Humanities) appeared at the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) Examination in 1987 for the first time from this institution. On September 03, 1994, the school achieved its boastful right of being upgraded as ‘Bangladesh Rifles College'. Major General Anwar Hossain BP, PSC, inaugurated the College Section on November 16, 1994. After the opening of the college section, it got its recognition from the government on July 03, 1995. Later on the then Director General of Bangladesh Rifles, Major General Ejaj Ahmed Chowdhury inaugurated the Morning Shift on March 20, 1995. The former Director-General Ejaj Ahmed Chowdhury opened the evening shift on May 04, 1995. Afterwards, the evening shift was merged with the morning shift. Degree Section was opened in accordance with the decision of the Governing Body held on August 07, 1998, and it continued for a few years. It had also been stopped for certain reasons.In 2004 the institution was renamed after the name of Munshi Abdur Rouf, one of the seven great heroes ( Birshresthas) of Bangladesh who met heroic deaths for the liberty.
