Jamia Hamdard Deemed university,
Accredited by Naac in ‘A’ Grade
New Delhi India
The
history of Jamia Hamdard begins with the establishment of a small Unani clinic
in the year 1906 by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed, one of the well-known
practitioners of Unani System of Medicine of his time. Hakeem Hafiz Abdul
Majeed had a vision of making the practice of Unani Medicine into a scientific
discipline so that Unani medicines could be dispensed in a more efficacious
manner to patients. He gave the name “Hamdard” to his venture which means
“sympathy for all and sharing of pain”. His illustrious son, Hakeem Abdul
Hameed, carried forward the philosophy and objectives of Hamdard in independent
India .
Even at the time of partition of India in 1947, Hakeem Abdul Hameed
was dreaming of setting up a complex of educational institutions which would
concentrate on highlighting the contribution of Islam and Islamic culture to
Indian civilization and development of Unani medicines for curing diseases
On 22 Shawwal, 1367 Hijri, corresponding to 28th
August, 1948, Hamdard, which was a commercial enterprise at that time, was
converted into a Wakf, with the object of giving effect to Islamic teachings of
public charity including health and education. In 1964, Hamdard National
Foundation was created with a view to receive and disburse the profits earned
by Hamdard (Wakf) Laboratories. Hamdard National Foundation was to take up
charitable causes in the areas of education, medical relief and the advancement
of knowledge, consistent with the principles of the true teachings of Islam.
For setting up a complex of research and
educational institutions, Hakeem Abdul Hameed purchased a piece of land in
Tughlaqabad area of South Delhi which was
hardly inhabited in those times. In order to implement and execute the objects
of Wakf as enshrined in the Wakf deed, Hakeem Abdul Hameed and his Muslim
associates, established several institutions for teaching and research as given
below.
In 1962, Hakeem Abdul Hameed set up the Institute of History of Medicine and Medical Research
with the object of promoting education and research in the history of medicine,
besides appraising the principles of medicine.
In 1963, Hakeem Abdul Hameed and his Muslim friends
and associates set up Indian Institute of Islamic Studies with a view to
promote the study of Islamic Culture and Civilization especially its
contribution to Indian society and culture.
In 1963, Hamdard
Tibbi College
was set up in Gali Qasim Jaan, Old Delhi .
It was later shifted to Jamia Hamdard Campus in 1980 to provide education in
Unani Medicine to students so that the heritage of Unani Medicine largely
available in Arabic and Persian is passed on to the students of next
generation.
In 1972, Hamdard
College of Pharmacy was
set up with the objective of providing education and training in all branches
of pharmacy. The year 1989 saw the fulfilment of the dream of Hakeem Abdul
Hameed when Jamia Hamdard was given the status of Deemed to be University by
the Ministry of Human Resource Development on 10th May, 1989. All the above
named institutions set up by Hakeem Abdul Hameed and his friends and associates
were amalgamated into Jamia Hamdard. In a brief period of only ten years, Jamia
Hamdard has evolved into an institution fulfilling the objects of the wakf,
which has funded it.
It was a day of great joy for Hakeem Abdul Hameed,
founder and the moving spirit behind all the institutions promoted by Hamdard
and his large number of friends and associates. As a means of thanking the
Almighty Allah for His guidance to its founder and his associates, Jamia
Hamdard adopted a Seal with the following ayat from Sura al-Jum’a from the Holy
Quran:
Contribution of Hakeem Abdul Hameed to promote the
cause of education, health and social service was acknowledged by the
Government of India in 1965 when he was awarded Padma Shri for his valuable
contribution and for his personal qualities of sacrifice, devotion and
commitment to the cause of education. He was also awarded the Padma Bhushan in
1991. The services rendered by Hakeem Abdul Hameed to the cause of education of
Muslims have been acknowledged not only in India but in other countries too.
Jamia Hamdard was conceived as a seat of higher
learning in Unani Medicine, Islamic Studies, Biosciences, Pharmacy, Nursing and
other areas of knowledge by its founder as a means of fulfilling the objects of
the wakf. Over a period of last ten years, Jamia Hamdard has emerged as an
outstanding institution of higher learning with distinct and focused academic
programmes. Graduate programme in Information Technology and Computer
Applications and Post-graduate programmes in Information Technology, Computer
Applications, Business Management, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy have
been started in the last few years. Undergraduate programmes in Physiotherapy
and Occupational Therapy are being introduced from this year. Jamia Hamdard
offers postgraduate and doctoral programmes in several disciplines for which
advanced facilities are available.
