Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal
Encyclopedia
Bangladesh Jatiyotabadi Chhatradal ( Jatiyôtabadee Chhatrô Dôl), also known as JCD, is a student organization of Bangladesh
that operates as the student wing of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party
(BNP). Many of the top BNP leaders and policy-makers today have once been closely associated with JCD and came to acclaim as student leaders.
As the student wing of the BNP, Chhatra Dal goes by 19 major points, based on how the mother organization runs its political activities. After the Bangladesh Nationalist Party was founded by Ziaur Rahman
, the necessity of a strong student organization was realized, after which Ziaur Rahman founded Chhatra Dol. Rahman's popularity as a radical reformer and charismatic appearance, especially to the youth of the country, triggered a mass recruitment to the organization at the first stages.
At present Jatiyotabadi Chhatradal is led by a committee which is not like a student organization (the president is about to be 50 years))
