Chowdhury's zamindari was spread across the districts of Faridpur and Bakerganj. He was well-known for his wealth and was a great patron of education and public welfare, and used to donate generously for this purpose. Chowdhury aided the government in constructing a public bridge and ghat in Madaripur and other roads in the district. He also entirely funded the building for Madaripur's first pharmacy, and largely contributed to the construction of Barisal Government Entrance School. Chowdhury donated ten thousand rupees to the Dacca College Extension Fund.BEC, 874, April 1877, 39-13, 157
