List of capitals in Pakistan
Islamabad officially became the capital of Pakistan on 14 August 1967, exactly 20 years after the country's independence. Previously, Rawalpindi was the capital, designated in 1958. The first capital of Pakistan was the coastal city of Karachi, which was selected by Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Karachi was and still is the largest city and economic capital of Pakistan. It remained the seat of government until 1959, when the military president, Ayub Khan, decided to build a new capital in the north of Pakistan, near the general headquarters of the Pakistani Armed Forces at Rawalpindi.
Dhaka Residential Model College
Field marshal Ayub Khan, the second president of Pakistan was the founder of Dhaka Residential Model College.
Dhaka Residential Model College was established in 1960, in an area of about 60 acre beside Mirpur Road near Sher-e-Bangla Nagor in Dhaka by the then central government of Pakistan. Dhaka was the capital and the largest city of East Pakistan. In 1962, the administration of DRMC was assumed by the provincial government of East Pakistan. In 1965, the government converted the institution into an autonomous body and its administration was relegated to a board of governors with the Chief Secretary of East Pakistan as its chairman. In 1967, the government of Pakistan again took control of the school. At that time, a new board of governors was constituted with the Education Secretary of Pakistan as its Chairman.
