The College of Social Welfare and Research Centre was established in 1958 as a constituent college of the University of Dhaka.

Later in 1973, the college was made an institute of the University of Dhaka and renamed as the Institute of Social Welfare and Research. A separate premises was allocated to the institute, where the academic building with one men's and one girls' hostel for the institutes' students were constructed by the end of 1974, where after the academic activity of the Institute commenced in the said premises.

The academic building was attached with a large open field within the premises, which became the only after-noon recreational place for inhabitant of the adjacent residential locality New Paltan. In the years 1997 and 2008 two four storied girls' students halls of the Dhaka University namely Bangladesh Kuwait Maitree Hall and Begum Fajilatunnesa Mujib Hall respectively, were constructed in that field covering the whole area. This had made the entire premises a congested area, destroying the earlier beauty of the premises.
