Jamia Millia Islamia University Vice Chancellor Najma Akhtar also announced that the university plans to soon establish an international campus in the Middle East.
Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) organised its grand Centenary Year Convocation yesterday at Vigyan Bhawan in the university campus to award degrees and diplomas to the passed-out students of 2019 and 2020. During the event, Jamia Millia Islamia University Vice Chancellor Najma Akhtar announced that the central government has given them permission to start a medical college.
"We have dentistry, physiotherapy, first aid health centres, but a medical college has been missing in Jamia. As a VC, I have always requested for a medical college, on behalf of my students and faculty. We requested the government of India for the same, and now I am happy to announce that JMI has been granted the permission to establish a medical college at the campus," she said at the ceremony, as reported by NDTV.
"Our hard work has been successful. Our dream of several years has come true today. I would like to thank the Prime Minister, Education Minister, President and the Vice President of our country for helping us with this," she stated.
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was the Chief Guest of the celebration while the convocation was chaired by the Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.
Prof. Akhtar expressed her gratitude to the Union Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for all the support and guidance that helped JMI to achieve greater heights. She said “I feel extremely privileged and fortunate to be working under the progressive leadership of our enlightened Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. It is his constant and strong support that we are able to move ahead so remarkably and achieved extra ordinary progress”.
