As per the decision of the University of Dhaka Syndicate meeting dated 21/08/1976, then Hostel-1 was named as “A.F. Rahman Hall” after the name of the first Bangali Vice-Chancellor University of Dhaka and renowned educationist Sir A.F. Rahman. Though the word ‘Sir’ was not included in the naming of the Hall at that time, a recent meeting of Dhaka University Syndicate held on 13/03/14 added the word ‘Sir’ and renamed the Hall as “Sir A.F. Rahman Hall” in honour of the then Vice-chancellor University of Dhaka.
