The importance of establishing an organisation for Bengali language was first emphasised by the linguist Muhammad Shahidullah.{{cite book |last= Al-Helal |first= Bashir |title= Bangla Academy'r Itihaas (History of Bangla Academy) |year= 1986 |publisher= Bangla Academy |location= Dhaka, Bangladesh |language= bn}}{{cite book |last=Mamun |first=Muntasir |title=Dhaka: Smriti Bismritir Nogori |orig-year=1993 |edition=3rd edition, 4th printing |date=January 2004 |publisher=Ananya Publishers |location=Dhaka, Bangladesh|language=bn |isbn=984-412-104-3 |pages=178–180}} Later, following the Language movement, on 27 April 1952, the All Party National Language Committee decided to demand the establishment of an organisation for the promotion of Bengali language. During the 1954 parliamentary elections, the United Front's 21-point manifesto stated that, "The prime minister from the United Front will dedicate the Bardhaman House, also known as Burdwan House, for establishing a research center for the Bengali language".{{Cite web |date=2013-02-01 |title=Burdwan House |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-267297|access-date=2023-01-27 |website=The Daily Star |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241210010038/https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-267297 |archive-date=10 December 2024 |language=en}} The building was the official residence of the Chief Minister of East Pakistan, Nurul Amin during the Language movement and part of the University of Dhaka before that.{{Cite book |last=Hasina |first=Sheikh |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LmjIDwAAQBAJ&dq=Burdwan+House+dacca&pg=PA3 |title=Secret Documents of Intelligence Branch on Father of The Nation, Bangladesh: Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman: Volume I (1948-1950) |date=2020-01-07 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-000-03311-3 |pages=3 |language=en}} Following the election success of the Front, the education minister Syed Azizul Haque placed the order to fulfill this promise.

In 1955, the government formed a committee to expedite the process. The committee was composed of leading intellectuals like Muhammad Shahidullah, Qazi Motahar Hossain, S.M. Bhattacharya, W. H. Shadani, and Muhammad Barkatullah. On 3 December 1955, the Chief Minister of East Bengal, Abu Hussain Sarkar, inaugurated the institute. Barkatullah acted as the Special Officer in charge. In 1956, Muhammad Enamul Haque took over as the first director.{{cite book |last=Islam |first=Sirajul |year=2012 |chapter=Bangla Academy |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Bangla_Academy |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Helal |editor2-first=Bashir Al |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=Asiatic Society of Bangladesh}}

In 1957, an act of the parliament formally established the funding source and the Government support for the institute. The first book published by the academy was Laili Maznu, an epic by the medieval poet Dawlat Ujir Bahram Khan, and edited by Ahmed Sharif. The first fellow of the academy was the poet Farrukh Ahmed.

The publication division was established in early 1957; the research, culture and library divisions and translation division were set in 1958 and 1961 respectively.{{Cite web |url=http://banglaacademy.org.bd/site/detail_view/72/%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B8 |script-title=bn:বাংলা একাডেমির সংক্ষিপ্ত ইতিহাস |access-date=11 August 2016 |language=bn |website=Bangla Academy}}

After the independence of Bangladesh, the director's position was renamed Director General. Mazharul Islam, head of Bangla Department of Rajshahi University, was the first Director General of the institute.{{cite news |title=Bangla Academy marks 54th founding anniv today |url=http://www.dhakamirror.com/city-news/bangla-academy-marks-54th-founding-anniv-today/ |website=Dhaka Mirror |agency=New Age |access-date=31 May 2015}}

On 19 September 2008, a new 8-storey building, containing a 500-capacity auditorium and a 100-capacity seminar room, opened next to the main building.

The functions and structure of the institute were devised on the model of the French Academy.

1. Research, compilation and folklore
2. Language, literature, culture and publication
3. Textbook
4. Planning and training

The main task of the academy is to conduct research on Bengali language, culture, and history, and to publish Bengali literary and research work.

To commemorate the Language movement and the Language martyr's day, the academy organizes the month-long Ekushey Book Fair, the largest book fair in the country. It was introduced by former director general Monzur-I-Mowla.

In recent years, Bangla Academy has been widely criticized for allowing different organizations to arrange events in English and denigrating Bengali in the premise of Bangla Academy, which is a violation of visions of the institution.{{Cite news |url=https://opinion.bdnews24.com/bangla/archives/54577 |script-title=bn:'ঢাকা লিট ফেস্ট'-এর পৃষ্ঠপোষকতা ও ইংরেজিকে 'লিডিং' অবস্থানে নিয়ে যাওয়ার ব্যবস্থা! |date=12 November 2018 |work=bdnews24.com |type=Opinion |language=bn |access-date=2018-12-20 |archive-date=20 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181220033845/https://opinion.bdnews24.com/bangla/archives/54577 |url-status=dead }} "The Academy has misused a lot of funds in producing useless books, books that are unoriginal," opines Salimullah Khan.{{Cite magazine |url=http://archive.thedailystar.net/magazine/2004/02/02/coverstory.htm |title=Losing Sight of Priorities |magazine=Star Magazine |publisher=The Daily Star |access-date=2019-02-04 |archive-date=12 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180412062135/http://archive.thedailystar.net/magazine/2004/02/02/coverstory.htm |url-status=dead }} Khan is of the opinion that the academy is short on original publications long on dross. He believes that both in research and in the field of creative writing, originality must be given priority. He also adds that most of the problems lie in the process of selection. The selection process the crucial decision to ditch one manuscript to pick another that will be added to the long list of academy publications, is faulty and in dire need of revision.
