History






= Proposal as the first state owned Urdu university

=
In 2004 it was proposed that a state owned Urdu university be set up in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh. It was named after Mohammad Ali Jouhar, an Indian Muslim activist among the leading figures of the Khilafat Movement. The main originator of the idea of an Urdu university was Azam Khan. It would have been the first state owned Urdu university in whole of Uttar Pradesh. At the time, the proposal of making Azam Khan as the lifelong chancellor of the university was not approved by the then governor T.V. 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.




= Samajwadi Party loses power

=
The University was locked in political warfare for the next five years. In 2006, amidst all the opposition from the political parties, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mulayam Singh Yadav laid the foundation stone of the University. In 2007, Samajwadi party lost the 2007 Vidhan Sabha election, and Bahujan Samaj Party won with a majority in the house. This further worsened conditions for Azam Khan, who was part of the Samajwadi Party and was the main proponent of the university. Finally, in 2009, Azam Khan decided to instead set up an engineering college in the university's premises. Azam Khan's idea of a state owned Urdu university was beginning to pave way for a full-fledged privately owned university. For the next three years, the engineering college by the name of Jauhar College of Engineering and Technology operated on university premises affiliated with the Mahamaya Technical University.




= Samajwadi Party comes to power

=
A major uplift to the university was seen in 2012 when the Samajwadi Party came to power. The issue was promoted, and in July, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav finally authorized the university to start admissions as a full-fledged private university.




= Inauguration of the university

=
After eight years of struggle, the university was finally inaugurated on September 18th, 2012 by Mulayam Singh Yadav, the founder of the Samajwadi Party. The inauguration was attended by many members of the Samajwadi party. The presence of the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav was well accepted and lauded by the large audience that had gathered to witness the inauguration.
The former Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav said that Azam Khan had rendered "an unmatched service for the upliftment of the community and society." Calling it a historical moment, he said that the roles of Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar and his brother Shaukat Ali were 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 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.




Infrastructure



The university buildings are still under construction and most of the work will be completed soon.
The envisioned university consists of a school of humanities, a school of law, a school of education, a school of engineering and technology, a school of nursing, and a medical college. Two-thirds of the 300-acre plan for a fully-developed campus has already been acquired.

Attention has also been given to the development of sporting facilities. Sports fields for football, hockey, and cricket have been proposed. A mini-stadium with athletic tracks, gymnasium, and horse riding club has also been designed.
A 478-seat auditorium building has a main hall and green rooms.
