Allama Shibli Nomani established “National School” in 1883, two years prior to the formation of Indian National Congress. Prior to the establishment of National School, Allama conducted a survey of the whole region vis-à-vis educational status and formed a “Muslim Educational Society”. Since then no educational survey has been done in spite of modern tools of data processing.
After Shibli’s educational movement, there was a huge gap in this direction and it is only after 1970 that educational institutions in a village Beenapara were established. The dawn of twently first century witnessed the establishment of institutions like Ziauddin Khan Memorial School (CBSE board), Badharia, Azamgarh and Fatima Girls College, Daudpur, Azamgarh.
I visited two small and upcoming institutions “Shibli Children School”, Nizamabad, Azamgarh and “Muslimpatti Niswan junior High School”, Muslimpatti, Azamgarh. Watch the video reports below:
