Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal 
Founded 1980 Headquarters 28/1 New Paltan, Dhaka Ideology Nationalism, Progressiveness Mother party Bangladesh Nationalist Party Website [1] Bangladesh Jatiyotabadi Chhatradal (Bengali: জাতীয়তাবাদী ছাত্রদল Jatiyôtabadee Chhatrô Dôl), also known as JCD, is a student organization of Bangladesh that operates as the student wing of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).[1] Many of the top BNP leaders and policy-makers today have once been closely associated with JCD and came to acclaim as student leaders.
As the student wing of the BNP, Chhatra Dal goes by 19 major points[2], based on how the mother organization runs its political activities. After the Bangladesh Nationalist Party was founded by Ziaur Rahman, the necessity of a strong student organization was realized, after which Ziaur Rahman founded Chhatra Dol. Rahman's popularity as a radical reformer and charismatic appearance, especially to the youth of the country, triggered a mass recruitment to the organization at the first stages[citation needed].
At present Jatiyotabadi Chhatradal is led by a committee which is not like a student organization (the president is about to be 50 years))
