Jamia Millia Islamia University
Jamia Millia Islamia, an institution originally established at Aligarh in
United Provinces, India in 1920 became a Central University by an act of the
Indian Parliament in 1988. In Urdu language, Jamia means ‘University’,
and Millia means ‘National’.
The story of its growth from a small institution in the pre-independence
India to a central university located in New Delhi—offering integrated
education from nursery to research in specialized areas—is a saga of
dedication, conviction and vision of a people who worked against all odds
and saw it growing step by step. They “built up the Jamia Millia stone
by stone and sacrifice by sacrifice,” said Sarojini Naidu, the nightingale
of India.
