Location of Cadet College Razmak
Cadet College Razmak is located in the scenic plateau-valley of Razmak. Razmak is a Tehsil of North Waziristan Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan.
By road, it is at a distance of some 120+ km from Bannu and some 70+ km from Miranshah, the headquarters of North Waziristan Agency.
Cadet College Razmak is housed at a very strategic location; precisely on the borderline between North Waziristan and South Waziristan agencies such that its perimeter walls afford a view of North Waziristan’s Razmak tehsil on one one side and South Waziristan’s Makeen tehsil on the other. Also visible from the college are the hills of Shawal, a scenic valley in North Waziristan.
Foundation of Cadet College Razmak
In order to provide an opportunity of quality education to the tribesmen of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), the Late Prime Minister of Pakistan Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto approved the establishment of Cadet College Razmak by splitting the then Razmak F.C Camp into two portions. One portion, the Upper Camp would continue to house the ‘Shawal Rifles’ and the other, the Lower Camp would house the Cadet College.
The College became operational in 1978 with a single boarding hostel, Ghazali House (in the old military barracks), and Mr. Asghar Ali Choudhry was appointed its first principal.
