Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, who founded Aligarh Muslim University, was one of the most dynamic and resplendent personalities of the 19th century. As an educationist, scholar, theologian, social reformer, author and journalist, he contributed much to the resurgence of modern India.
His Aligarh Movement and Muslim Educational Conference initiative left their imprints on the entire sub- continent. This great visionary and reformer was one of those early pioneers who recognised the critical role of education for the empowerment of the poor and backward Muslim community.
