Thereafter, the desire to increase the number of places for girls to promote more equal access to such an education combined with the introduction of commissioning female officers into the Defense Services in 2002 added more impetus to the issue.
[2][3] Finally, the government decided to establish two girls' cadet colleges at Feni and Joypurhat.
A portion of an abandoned American airfield (constructed in 1942 during World War II) was chosen as the site for Feni Girls' Cadet College.
The college opened for teaching on 15 April 2006 with 100 students (cadets),[1] fifty of each from classes VIII and VII.
Ministers, chiefs of three services, senior military and civil officers, elites, college staff and cadets were present.
The college started running with basic buildings and services as work continued on enlarging the campus.
