Bogra Cantonment, also known as Majhira Cantonment, is a cantonment located at Shajahanpur Upazila. About 10 kilometers south of Bogura, a city in Rajshahi Division of Bangladesh.[1][2][3]

It is the headquarters of the 11th Infantry Division. The Armoured Corps Center & School (ACC&S), and the Non-Commissioned Officers Academy (NCOA) of the Bangladesh Army are also located there.[4][5]

Beyond the military significance, Bogra Cantonment is home to an educational institution, the Bogura Cantonment Public School and College (BCPSC), established in 1979. The Cantonment Board, a local governing body, oversees the administration and infrastructure development within the area.
