The citizens of Rangpur held a conference on 7, November, 1905. On 8 November, the Rangpur National School was started with the objective of imparting indigenous education both general and technical to Indians. The birth of the National school sparked off the movement culminating in the formation of the National Council of Education (NCE). The order directing the flogging of the students of Madaripur high school and its defiance by the Headmaster acted as a major catalyst.
