1 From the desk of Hon’ble Vice Chancellor

Aliah University was established with sincere intention to serve the educationally backward classes and minority communities of West
Bengal by way of promoting higher learning among them. At Aliah University, we always ensure excellence in learning and teaching
through setting of high standard of performance, targeted support and development, and a dedicated academic and administrative
staffing profile.The University is pioneer among the conventional universities of the State to successfully implement semester system,
continuous assessment and letter grading system as prescribed by statutory authorities.Presently, in its tenth years of existence this
University is performing with a view of creating ever-expanding opportunities for higher education and research in traditional as well
as newly emerging areas for the development of the entire society at large. This vision is evident from the achievements of Aliah
University where presently 47 different academic as well as professional programmes are being offered at various levels. Research
programmes in various disciplines are also being pursued quite actively and there is immense scope for progress in the near
future.Aliah University with the support of State Government offers free residential coaching to WBCS aspirants of Minority
Community. So far, this programme has benefitted four batches comprising of 120 aspirants out of which around 28 aspirants have
already secured government services.

The University, through its Training & Placement Cell, provides special training on Soft Skills, English Communication and
Personality Development to its students which are essential for enhancing employability. Regular campus drives have facilitated our
students to secure employments in leading industrial houses of the country.As a Vice-Chancellor of Aliah University, I am committed
to an all-round development of this University, by way of developing a well knit fabric among its faculty members, non-teaching staff,
students, researchers and those who were and are associated with this University.

2 Journey of Aliah University so far…

2.1 Introduction
Aliah University – a State University under the Department of Minority Affairs and Madrasah Education, Government of West Bengal
– came into existence through the Aliah University Act (Act XXVII of 2007) passed by the West Bengal Legislative Assembly. The
Act came into force on 5 April 2008. However, its parent institution from which it was upgraded to a University – was usually
mentioned in various old Government records varyingly as Mohomedan College of Calcutte or Calcutta Madrasah or Madrasah Aliah
which was established at the behest of the British Governor-General Warren Hastings in 1780 when he was approached by some
Muslim gentlemen of Calcutta. The newly-upgraded University started its glorious journey from the 2008-09 academic session with
the hope that there would be a symbiosis of heritage and modernization here and through the participation and co-operation of people
irrespective of race, caste, creed, or class, this University would play a leading role in the advancement of higher education especially
of the Minorities who have for various historical reasons remained socially and educationally backward.

Page |3
2.2 Historical Background
Aliah University has a unique pre-history. A brief look at this will offer an understanding of its social and cultural importance. Its
parent institution Aliah Madrasah was the first government-funded educational institution in British India. The chief intention for
establishing this institution was to educate the children of Muslim families in Arabic, Persian and Muslim Law so that they might be
eligible to get jobs in different Government Departments like revenue administration and the judiciary. However, within a decade the
curriculum of Aliah Madrasah had also encompassed modern subjects like arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and the natural sciences
along with the more traditional branches of learning like Law, Theology, Elementary Grammar, Philosophy and Logic. In 1821, the
Annual Examination of the Madrasah was held in the presence of many respectable officials and gentlemen of Calcutta. This was the
first public examination held in British India. A medical class, headed by Dr Peter Breton, Professor of Medicine, was started at this
Madrasah in 1826 for the first time in British India. Dr Breton was authorized to purchase a skeleton and collect medical books. An
anatomical work published by John Taylor was arranged to be translated into Arabic. The medical class continued here till the
establishment of Calcutta Medical College in 1836. However, the students of the Madrasah were allowed to study medicine at Calcutta
Medical College. This speaks for the high standard of education at the Madrash in those days.
English was first introduced at Aliah Madrasah in 1826, though the number of students was quite low as Persian was still medium of
administration in British India. In 1854 at the recommendation of a Committee an English school, in the name of Anglo-Persian
Department, was started under the direct control of the Principal of Calcutta Madrasah.

After the Revolt of 1857, the British rulers began to have a suspicious attitude to the Muslims. There were proposals to abolish the
Madrasah. However, in 1860, the Government of India, rejecting the idea of abolition, rather recommended improvement in its
management. So the Madrasah continued to exist. Some reforms were introduced at the Calcutta Madrasah according to the
suggestions of a committee consisting of C.H. Campbell, Commissioner of the Presidency Division, I. Sutcliff, Principal of Presidency
College, and Nawab Abdul Latif, then a Deputy Magistrate. Further reforms were introduced at the recommendations of the Education
Commission headed by
W.W. Hunter in 1884. Nawab Abdul Latif and Justice Syed Amir Ali played a very important role in these reforms. In 1896 Elliot
Hostel was founded, with funds raised out of donations from the public. In 1902 the Muslim Institute was established as a part and
parcel of Calcutta Madrasah. The Principal of the Madrasah was ex-officio President and Treasurer of the Muslim Institute. Several
committees and commissions were appointed in 1915, 1923, 1931, 1938-40, and 1946 for the improvement in the syllabi, curricula
and all round development of Madrasah education in Bengal, particularly of Calcutta Madrasah.
After Partition in 1947, this institution again faced severe problems. According to the decision of the Separation Council, all books and
manuscripts, assets and estates of the Aliah Madrasah were transferred to the Dacca Madrasah. It was only at the initiative of Maulana
Abul Kalam Azad, the first Education Minister of independent India, that the institutional framework of Calcutta Madrasah was again
set up and teaching restarted.
In 2001, the Government of West Bengal, under the direction of the eminent educationist and the then Governor of West Bengal and
Bihar, Dr. A. R. Kidwai, formed a Madrasah Education Committee. This Committee presented its recommendations for the continued
development and future excellence of Aliah Madrasah in 2002. Finally, the over-two-hundred-year old institution was elevated to the
status of a University in 2007. Classes were being held in various rented buildings at Sector I and Sector V of Salt Lake City, apart
from the Heritage building at Haji Md Mohsin Square. In 2011 the Government of West Bengal led by Mamata Banerjee, the Hon’ble
Chief Minister, allotted 20 acres of land at New Town and the foundation stone for the New Town Campus was laid by her on 15
December 2011. The newly-built building was inaugurated by her on 11 November 2014, National Education Day. By this time the
G+ 9 building at Park Circus Campus was also completed. So, the academic and administrative activities of the university started at
both these two new campuses from January 2015.
It may be observed that Aliah Madrasah from its early days imparted teaching in both the traditional subject of theology and the
modern sciences, social sciences, and humanities. To keep alive this tradition of teaching, right from the start, Aliah University has
offered courses in the traditional Islamic Theology and Arabic along with subjects like English, Bengali, History and Geography and
many other branches of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics, Biological Sciences) as well as Engineering (Civil,
Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics and Communications, Computer Science and Engineering), Management and Business
Adminstration, Nusrsing and Journalism and Mass Communication. Keeping in mind the requirements of the employment sector in the
st
21 century, right from the start, great emphasis has been put on courses in the Sciences, Engineering, Technology and Management
so that students from the minority community become eligible and can compete for jobs in various sectors.
In keeping with the great stress laid by the UGC on the Semester system of education and Letter Grade process of marking, Aliah
University has adopted semesterization, credit system, continuous assessment, and letter grading from its inception. Now steps are
being taken to introduce the CBCS in all the Departments as soon as possible.

2.3 Spirit of Aliah University

The spirit of Aliah University engraved in its motto, ‘Advancement of Education and Culture’ in Arabic “Taqdeem-ut-Ta'leemwa-as
Saqafah” which is very significant and suggestive and breaks all the barriers which comes to acquire modern and scientific education. It urges
its students for unabating quest for acquiring higher education along with creating sensible human being with imbedded cultural and ethical
values.

College, to expand and deepen it, to evolve it further with a successful outreach into the emerging areas in each branch of modern
science, technology, social studies, and humanities. It aims to instill the dynamism of its glorious heritage of the past among all its
students, so that they can successfully cope with the critical needs and challenges of the present and contribute to the future
