History
The government of Bangladesh established Rangamati Medical College in 2014, along with new medical colleges at Jamalpur, Manikganj, Patuakhali, Tangail, and Sirajganj. Instruction began in January 2015, with 53 students, but operations were soon suspended until the end of March as a result of vocal opposition from local groups such as Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS). The groups believe that students, staff, and faculty would come predominantly from outside the Chittagong Hill Tracts, and their settlement in Rangamati would change the character of the region.
