However, Siraj Uddin Khan built a mosque in 1923 and an educational institution named Sirajuddin Institute in 1925 to spread the light of education in the area with the aim of improving the educational system. His four children named Bachhu Mia, Badsha Mia, Futan Mia and Hamid Mia donated 36 percent of the land for school purposes known as Sirajuddin Primary School which is governmentalized in 1973. Before 1969, Sirajuddin Primary School’s infrastructure was not appropriate for the students. In this regard, the school was moved to a broader location in 1969 for ensuring better educational facilities.
Besides, community clinics, madrasas, orphanages, hat-bazaar, family and social two cemeteries were built by them. Sirajpur village was started by the ancestors of Siraj Uddin Khan about four hundred years ago through Zamindari.
