The institution today holds the vision “to create a human universe that offers inclusiveness, equity, fellowship, justice and peace for one and all”.
Jamia Millia Islamia made a modest beginning in 1920 at Aligarh, with the resolute determination of its founding members Shaikhul Hind Maulana Mahmud Hasan Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar, Jenab Hakim Ajmal Khan, Dr. Mukhtar Ahmad Ansari, Jenab Abdul Majeed Khwaja, and Dr. Zakir Hussain to create an institution that would manifest indigenous ethos and spirit of plurality. It was conceived as a national institution that would offer progressive education and nationalist ideals to students from all communities, particularly the Muslims. The emergence of Jamia was supported by Gandhiji and Tagore who felt that Jamia could shape lives of hundreds and thousands of students on the basis of a shared culture and worldview.
