Sujauddin Ahmed, the master craftsman of building people

Sujauddin Ahmed (born 1918; died 22-07-1993) was born in 1918 into a middle-class family at Dang Modakagram village of Adabaria union in Daulatpur thana of the Kushtia subdivision. His father's name was Shital Mohammad and his mother Shanti Khatun. He passed matriculation from Sikarpur High School of West Bengal and obtained his Intermediate and graduation from Rajshahi Government College.

He passed his M.A. from the University of Calcutta in 1934. An economic crisis interrupted his M.A. studies. He was suffering from indecision over which profession he would devote himself to. He first joined the Royal Air Force (RAF), but because it did not appeal to him he resigned the job within a year, in 1942. Driven by the need for a livelihood, he worked on a temporary basis at the office of the Police Commissioner of Calcutta. After he returned to his locality, the people of Mathurapur village were keen to establish a school in Mathurapur village. Shariatullah Biswas, a respected personality and the first graduate of the area, proposed that Mr. Sujauddin Ahmed join the school as headmaster. He joined in 1942 as founder headmaster.

Many obstacles and adversities came in the way of establishing the school, but he overcame them all through his own ability. At that time this land was under British rule, and the school won recognition from the University of Calcutta, whose vice-chancellor was Radha Binod Pal.

As an administrator he was devoted to justice. He did not like giving private tuition to students, nor did he ever like students getting entangled in politics. He liked reading the books of English writers, such as Dickens, George, Eliot, George Bernard - books of that kind. He was very enthusiastic about sports and games. For forty years at a stretch, from 1942 until (37/12/1942), he served with repute as founder headmaster at the same school. He passed away on 22/07/1993; at the time of his death he was seventy-seven (77) years old. He left behind two sons and three daughters, along with countless admirers of his virtues. May Allah grant him paradise.
