Jamia Millia Islamia was founded at Aligarh in 1920 during the Khilafat and government-supported educational institutions. Among those who enthusiastically responded to this call were Shaikhul Hind Maulana Mahmud Hasan, Maulana Mohammed Ali, Hakim Ajmal Khan, Dr. Mukhtar Ahmad Ansari, Abdul Majeed Khwaja and Dr. Zaki Hussain. These eminent personalities, along with some others, founded the Jamia Millia Islamia. They nurtured it through the changing vicissitudes of history at great personal risk and inconvenience. The Jamia moved from Aligarh to Delhi in 1925. Since then, it has been continuously growing, always refurbishing its methods, and branching out from time to time to meet new needs. True to the ideals of its founders, it has, over the years, tried to integrate the physical and mental development of its students. The Jamia reflects the original concern of its founders, which was to encourage the indigenous roots of education. It has cherished and has continued to encourage a critical appreciation of the country's history and culture and also the History of Islam with its rich cultural and intellectual traditions. It seeks to foster a national and cosmopolitan perspective in its academic programmes as well as in co-curricular activities. Like other universities, the Jamia has kept itself abreast with development in education, social sciences, natural sciences and technology. In recent years, there has been significant progress in the variety of courses offered, such as Engineering, Commerce, Fine Arts, Mass Communication, Information Technology and Extension Education. Institutions like the Academic Staff College and the Third World Studies have been started. The objects of the University are to disseminate advanced knowledge and provide instructional, research and extension facilities in various branches of learning. The University endeavors to provide the students and teachers with the necessary atmosphere and facilities for the promotion of:

• Innovation in education leading to the restructuring of courses, new methods of teaching and learning, and integrated development of personality;
• Studies in various disciplines
• Inter-Disciplinary studies; and
• National integration, secularism and international understanding.
