In the beginning it was an Intermediate college and was named Akbar Memorial College. The name&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;was after the wealthy family in Hoti who agreed to provide free land to the&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;college. Later on it became a Degree college and was called Government&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;College Mardan following payment to the family for the land. In those days&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;there were not many colleges in the surrounding areas and the college&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;attracted many students from the villages. The catchment&amp;amp;amp;#39;s area included&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;Swabi, Rustam, Buner, Loondkhwar, Shergarh, Toru, Katlung, Parts of &amp;amp;amp;nbsp;Charsadda, Rashkai and Risalpur. The traveling was not easy and students&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;used to stay in hostels. At least there were 3 hostels for the students.&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;Mardan has remained the centre of culture, literature and politics. The&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;college provided the opportunity for the students to flourish in various&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;fields of life. Besides curricular activities, there were Stage dramas,&amp;amp;amp;nbsp; Mushairas (poetry) and debates. Pushto Adabi Tolana, Progressive Literary&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;Society and Students Unions played an important role. Sports activities&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;were at the top.&amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;/kbd&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;/h3&amp;amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;</p>
