Bangladesh Jatiotabadi Chatra Dal
Bangladesh Nationalist Students' Party
Introduction
Bangladesh Jatiotabadi Chatra Dal (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ জাতীয়তাবাদী ছাত্রদল), popularly known as Chhatra Dal, is a Bangladeshi student organisation affiliated with Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). Many of the top BNP leaders and policy-makers today were once closely associated with JCD and developed as student leaders. After the Bangladesh Nationalist Party was founded by Ziaur Rahman, he realized a strong student organization was needed to cherish future BNP leaders, and established Chatradal on January 1, 1979. Chatradal has adopted the 19-point programme, based on the mother party BNP's structure and approach.
