In 1880, an educational institution was established at the residence of Ananda Mohan as Mymensingh Institution, later named the City Collegiate School in 1883.[7] In 1901, City Collegiate School opened college section and named Mymensingh City College. Later on, the college section of the institution was shifted to College Road on 1 January 1908 as a college and then it was named after him. In 1964, the college was nationalized.[8][9]
