Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) is one of the premier universities of national importance. It came into ex-istence at Aligarh in 1920 during the Khilafat and Non-cooperation movement in response to Gandhi-ji’s call to boycott government supported education-al institutions. JMI has a multi layered educational system. It has Nine Faculties and more than 27 Cen-tres for Research of Excellence. Jamia has also started several inter-disciplinary research centers that have given an edge to it in terms of critical re-search. The story of growth JMI from a small insti-tution in the pre-independence India to a central uni-versity located in New Delhi 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.
