Samiruddin Smriti College is the first college of Baliadangi Upazila and is located in the heart of Upazila Sadar. Before 1987, there were colleges in every upazila of Thakurgaon district except Baliadangi. As there is no college in Baliadangi upazila, after passing SSC, a small number of students were admitted to colleges in Thakurgaon and other upazilas. As the region was poverty-stricken, most students, especially girls, dropped out of school and girls were subjected to child marriage. Seeing this plight, engineer Izabuddin Ahmed, a child of Baliyadangi, founded the college in 1987 in the name of his father. Samiruddin Smriti College is established on about seven acres of land. The college is of Degree level. Its physical infrastructure is beautiful. Its buildings are one storey, two storey, three storey and four storey.
