Rampur: The much awaited Mohammad Ali Jauhar University will be inaugurated on September 18. The inauguration will be done by Samajwadi Party’s national president Mulayam Singh Yadav in presence of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.
The university has been established as a private university and will be governed by Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust. Cabinet minister Azam Khan is the Trustee of the trust and Chancellor of the university. The foundation stone of the university was laid exactly six years ago on September 18, 2006 by the then Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav.

The university was then involved in several controversies. Azam Khan who was a minister in Mulayam cabinet moved a proposal for lifelong Chancellor of the university. It was turned down by the then Governor T V Rajeshwar. Later, it was established as a private university.
During the Bahujan Samaj Party regime, the permission for starting the university was not given and only an engineering college could function. The permission has been finally given by the Akhilesh Yadav led government. Still the amendment for granting minority status to the university is pending with Governor.
The university is established in an area of over 200 acres and several buildings are complete. Azam Khan is camping in Rampur to finalise the inauguration programme. Several other VIPs are expected to attend the function.
The university is dream project of Azam Khan who has left no stone unturned to make it a reality.
