Established on April 6, 2006, on 8 acres of land donated by Jamil Chowdhury and Begum Rokeya Chowdhury in the municipal area of Dirai Upazila, five multi-storied buildings have been constructed, contributing to multi-faceted activities including regular classes, various developmental welfare training, and technical training.

It is an institution dedicated to helpless, autistic, poor, orphan, disabled, homeless, and ultra-poor girls, offering completely free facilities including education, food, and accommodation. Taking on the guardian's responsibilities for the girls, Bangladesh Female Academy (BFA), Dirai, Sunamganj, Bangladesh—the country's only free residential educational institution—nurtures girls from Class 1 up to college within its own campus, playing a role in creating a safe, beautiful life and a risk-free society. It is operated through the combined efforts of government and private sectors, encompassing religious education, general education, and technical education. Solely for medical and nursing studies, it utilizes government assistance by partnering with medical colleges and institutes across various regions of the country, accepting the government's 5% quota system to secure completely free residential hostel and management facilities, including education, food, and lodging.

In accordance with government decisions, all student admissions and activities are conducted through direct free admission and the waiver of all types of government fees, including board and center fees.

There is government permission to enroll regular students in all classes 12 months a year.
