Background

After the revolution of 1857, the Muslim community in the country was in a state of turmoil, suffering from higher illiteracy rates and poor financial conditions. At this time, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan came forward with the establishment of MAO College in 1875 which later evolved into the prestigious Aligarh Muslim University in 1920. After his demise, a group of enlightened Muslims continued his legacy by establishing Bazm-e-Iqbal in Agra with the vision of Urdu language and education. The question of Jamia Urdu relocation arose in 1947 when Tahir Mohammad planned to migrate to Pakistan. On this occasion, Syed Zahiruddin Alvi stepped in to transfer Jamia Urdu to Aligarh in 1948, The current building of Jamia Urdu Aligarh was inaugurated on January 08, 1960. Its establishment reverberated across the educational landscape with the various institutions including Madarsas and educational boards started offering coaching classes for Jamia Urdu Examinations.
