History

Proposal as the first state owned Urdu university

In 2004 it was proposed that a

Mohammad Ali Jouhar, an Indian Muslim leader and who was among the leading figures of the Khilafat Movement. The main originator of the idea of a Urdu university was Azam Khan. It would have been the first state owned Urdu university in whole of Uttar Pradesh. At that time, the proposal of making Azam Khan as lifelong chancellor of the university was not approved by the then Governor TV Rajeshwar. The Center Government, controlled by the Congress at the time, also opposed the bill for an Urdu university. It stated that it would approve the bill if Azam Khan, then MLA of Samajwadi Party, would cease seeking to be lifelong chancellor of the university. Azam Khan insisted on becoming the lifelong chancellor of the university. Hence the first state owned Urdu university was further put on hold.[6][7]

The former Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav said Azam Khan had rendered "an unmatched service for the upliftment of the community and society." Calling it a historical moment, he said that the role of Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar and his brother Shaukat Ali was very significant in the freedom struggle. Yadav said that the way to development was education. He also called for more educational institutes for minorities. He also requested the Chief Minister to consider opening up of a medical college in the university. He further said that after the Aligarh Muslim University, Rampur will now be remembered for the Mohammad Ali Jauhar university.[11]
