Introduction

Jamia Millia Islamia, an institution originally established at Aligarh in United Provinces, India in 1920 became a Central University by an act of the Indian Parliament in 1988. In Urdu language, Jamia means ‘University’, and Millia means ‘National’. The story of its growth from a small institution in the pre-independence India to a central university located in New Delhi—offering integrated education from nursery to research in specialized areas—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. Conception

Under the colonial British rule, two dominant trends joined hands and contributed towards in the birth of Jamia. One was the anti-colonial Islamic activism and the other was the pro-independence aspiration of the politically radical section of western educated Indian Muslim intelligentsia. In the political climate of 1920, the two trends gravitated together with Mahatma Gandhi as a catalyst. The anti-colonial activism signified by the Khilafat and the pro-independence aspirations symbolised by the non-cooperation movement of the Indian National Congress helped to harness creative energies and the subsequent making of Jamia Millia Islamia. Rabindranath Tagore called it “one of the most progressive educational institutions of India”. Responding to Gandhiji’s call to boycott all educational institutions supported or run by the colonial regime, a group of nationalist teachers and students quit Aligarh Muslim University, protesting against its pro-British inclinations. The prominent members of this movement were Maulana Mehmud Hasan, Maulana Mohamed Ali, Hakim Ajmal Khan, Dr. Mukhtar Ahmad Ansari, and Abdul Majid Khwaja. It comprised of the following members:

Dr. Mukhtar Ahmad Ansari (Delhi)
Mufti Kafayattullah (Delhi)
Maulana Abdul Bari Farang Mahali (UP)
Maulana Sulaiman Nadvi (Bihar)
Maulana Shabbir Ahmed Usmani (UP)
Maulana Husain Ahmad Madni (UP)

Dr. K. R. Narayanan Centre for Dalit and Minorities Studies Hosts Workshop on Disability Inclusion and Awareness

New Delhi, September 25, 2026

The Dr. K. R. Narayanan Centre for Dalit and Minorities Studies, Jamia Millia Islamia, hosted an Awareness-cum-Sensitisation and Hands-on Training Workshop on the Needs of Children with Special Needs on 24 September 2026. The workshop was organised in collaboration with the Centre for the Study of Social Inclusion and formed the fourth of five consecutive department-wise sessions being conducted by Samaveshan Saathi Samooh as part of its university-wide outreach initiative on disability inclusion and awareness.

The programme was graced by Prof. Deepak Kem, Director and Professor at the Dr. K. R. Narayanan Centre for Dalit and Minorities Studies, Jamia Millia Islamia, as the Chief Guest. The occasion was also graced by Prof. Padmanabh Samarendra, Professor, and Dr. Prashant Negi, Associate Professor, both from the Dr. K. R. Narayanan Centre for Dalit and Minorities Studies. Dr. Arvind Kumar, Assistant Professor at the Centre for the Study of Social Inclusion, was present as the Guest of Honour. The programme brought together faculty members, scholars and M.Ed. Special Education, 3rd Semester students from the Department of Teacher Training & Non-Formal Education for an engagement centred on disability, inclusion and the need to sensitise young professionals towards the needs of children with special needs.

The event was conducted under the guidance and supervision of Dr. Saurabh Ray, Assistant Professor, Special Education (Visual Impairment) at the Department of Teacher Training & Non-Formal Education (IASE), Faculty of Education, and Dr. Mohd. Faijullah Khan, Associate Professor at the Department of Teacher Training & Non-Formal Education. Dr. Saurabh Ray, speaking during the programme, emphasised that what is required is “not help but support, and not sympathy but empathy.” This emphasis on moving from charitable approaches towards meaningful support, understanding and empathy captured one of the central messages of the workshop.

The workshop comprised two key sessions. The first introduced participants to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, familiarising them with the rights and protections available to persons with disabilities and the broader principles of accessibility and inclusion, including inclusive education.

The second session adopted an interactive and experiential approach to Indian Sign Language (ISL). Participants were introduced to basic signs and encouraged to learn and reproduce the gestures demonstrated during the session. The session also provided sensitisation on respectful and appropriate ways of interacting with persons with disabilities, with particular emphasis on individual autonomy, dignity, consent and the importance of not making assumptions about a person's need for assistance. Participants were encouraged to understand that support should be offered in a manner that respects the preferences and independence of persons with disabilities. Students and scholars participated enthusiastically, asking questions, engaging with the facilitators and practising the signs themselves. The hands-on nature of the session thus connected questions of communication and accessibility with a broader understanding of dignity and inclusive social interaction.

For the Dr. K. R. Narayanan Centre for Dalit and Minorities Studies, the workshop also reaffirmed its broader commitment to engaging with questions of marginalisation and social exclusion beyond narrowly defined categories. While the Centre's work remains rooted in the study of Dalit and minority concerns, it also seeks to engage with wider forms of marginalisation, exclusion and underrepresented social issues. The workshop was one such initiative, bringing disability and accessibility into conversation with the Centre's broader intellectual and social commitments.

The Centre remains committed to organising and supporting more such workshops, discussions and academic engagements, and to making a sustained contribution towards building greater awareness, sensitivity, accessibility and inclusion within and beyond the university.

जामिया मिल्लिया इस्लामिया के लॉ ग्रेजुएट ओसामा नूर को लंदन स्कूल ऑफ़ इकोनॉमिक्स में LL.M. के लिए मिली शेवनिंग स्कॉलरशिप

नई दिल्ली, 23 सितंबर, 2026

जामिया मिल्लिया इस्लामिया के लॉ फैकल्टी के पूर्व छात्र (2023 बैच) ओसामा नूर को यूके सरकार की प्रतिष्ठित शेवनिंग स्कॉलरशिप मिली है। उन्होंने लंदन स्कूल ऑफ़ इकोनॉमिक्स एंड पॉलिटिकल साइंस (LSE) में मास्टर ऑफ़ लॉज़ (LL.M.) की पढ़ाई शुरू कर दी है।

पूरी तरह से फंडेड शेवनिंग स्कॉलरशिप यूके सरकार का प्रमुख अंतरराष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार कार्यक्रम है, जो दुनिया भर के बेहतरीन उभरते लीडर्स को यूनाइटेड किंगडम में पोस्टग्रेजुएट पढ़ाई करने में मदद करता है। LSE में जाने से पहले, नूर ने भारत के सुप्रीम कोर्ट में दो साल तक लॉ क्लर्क-सह-रिसर्च एसोसिएट के तौर पर काम किया।

लंदन जाने से पहले, नूर लॉ फैकल्टी के डीन प्रो. (डॉ.) गुलाम यज़दानी से मिले। मुलाकात के दौरान, प्रो. यज़दानी ने उन्हें प्रतिष्ठित स्कॉलरशिप मिलने पर बधाई दी, उनकी लगन की तारीफ़ की और यूनिवर्सिटी में उनके समय के दौरान उनकी अच्छी अटेंडेंस और पढ़ाई के प्रति समर्पण को याद किया।

जामिया में अपने समय के बारे में बात करते हुए, नूर ने कहा, "जामिया ने मुझे एक सुरक्षित माहौल दिया जिसमें मैं पढ़ाई कर सका, आगे बढ़ सका और अपना रास्ता चुन सका। मैं लॉ फैकल्टी और उन शिक्षकों का बहुत आभारी हूँ जिन्होंने उन वर्षों में मेरा साथ दिया। LSE में यह नया अध्याय शुरू करने से पहले फैकल्टी में वापस आना मेरे लिए बहुत मायने रखता है।"

संस्थान की तरक्की का ज़िक्र करते हुए, प्रो. यज़दानी ने जामिया के माननीय वाइस-चांसलर प्रो. मज़हर आसिफ़ और रजिस्ट्रार प्रो. मो. महताब आलम रिज़वी के लगातार सहयोग और दूरदर्शी नेतृत्व को सराहा। उन्होंने छात्रों के बीच शैक्षणिक उत्कृष्टता और वैश्विक आकांक्षाओं को बढ़ावा देने वाला माहौल बनाने के लिए उनका धन्यवाद किया।

प्रो. यज़दानी ने कहा कि फैकल्टी को अपने ग्रेजुएट्स को दुनिया की बेहतरीन यूनिवर्सिटीज़ में उच्च शिक्षा हासिल करते हुए देखकर बहुत गर्व होता है। उन्होंने बताया कि नूर लॉ फैकल्टी से चौथे शेवनिंग स्कॉलर हैं; उनसे पहले इदरीस मुहम्मद, नबीला जमील और आफ़रीन काज़ी को यह स्कॉलरशिप मिल चुकी है। और लगातार तीन वर्षों में यह तीसरा स्कॉलर है। उन्होंने कहा कि यह उपलब्धि फैकल्टी में फल-फूल रहे शानदार एकेडमिक माहौल को दर्शाती है और यह युवा वकीलों (जिनमें नए वकील भी शामिल हैं) को अपने शानदार सीनियर्स के रास्ते पर चलते हुए प्रतिष्ठित अंतरराष्ट्रीय विश्वविद्यालयों से उच्च शिक्षा प्राप्त करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करेगी। उन्होंने LSE में नूर की पढ़ाई के लिए उन्हें शुभकामनाएं दीं।
