About Maulana Mazharul Haque Arabic and Persian University

Maulana Mazharul Haque Arabic and Persian University, Patna, was established by the Government of Bihar under the provisions of Bihar State Universities Act (1976) as amended up to date. It was established on 10th April, 1998, for the development of higher standards in Arabic and Persian and with the duty to develop other branches of knowledge through sharing and collaboration for the dissemination of knowledge in the interest of the students and society. It is named after the great freedom fighter from the state, Maulana Mazharul Haque. Although the University was established in 1998 yet it remained non functional till January 2008. The new University administration under the present Vice-Chancellor has made the University fully functional in a purposeful manner within a short span of 6 months. The University started its First Academic Session from July 2008 by admitting students to nine job oriented vocational courses through the Knowledge Resource Centre Network (KRCN) established in the different districts of Bihar. Besides vocational courses the University has been empowered to conduct Alim (Graduation) and Fazil (Post-Graduation) examinations earlier conducted by Bihar State Madarsa Education Board, vide MHRD, Bihar memo no. 15/M 1–202/93–2279 dated 24-11-2008. The University proposes to develop a Centre of Excellence in Oriental Studies in the course of time apart from conducting mainstream courses. The University proposes a 'cafeteria' approach as per the UGC guidelines wherein flexibility accompanied with choice of large number of disciplines is offered to the students to enable them to prepare or choice multiple career options. It is therefore, proposed that instead of organising the courses in the traditional subject wise (department) system the University will establish different Schools/ Centres to promote interdisciplinary undergraduate, postgraduate teaching and research programmes.
