Hamdard University - Mission & Goals
As the brain-child of Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said, the Founder-Chancellor of this seat of learning, Hamdard University is dedicated to the nation for the cause of education. The first step he took was the establishment of Bait al-Hikmah Library in 1989 on the main campus of Hamdard University at Madinat-al-Hikmah.
In line with its Mission, the University strives hard to achieve a level of excellence comparable with international standards in all spheres of its operations viz. education, learning, research and development of professional skill through training. As the touchstone of its success, the University would like to emphasize character building and integrity awareness in students, so that they learn to live by their own efforts in a spirit of self-reliance and enterprise.
Hamdard University is honor-bound to provide value based education to students of every caste, color, creed and religion within its bounds to fulfil the vision of its Founder Shaheed, Hakim Mohammed Said. The following main goals serve as our guiding principles.
- To provide state of the art educational and laboratory facilities, and a conductive environment to students and staff for their professional and personality development.
- To employ and retain capable, competent and renowned teaching and research staff.
- To help building good moral character and self-reliance in our students through the process of formal and informal interactions and counseling.
- To promote Islamic accent on enlightenment through a firm effort to make our students and faculties compatible with the material and spiritual progress of mankind.
- To foster the promotion of freedom of thought with accent on the holistic attitude towards plurality of views. The only provision to keep a watch on this unhindered march towards self development is that it carries with the right to free development of personality within the threshold of tolerance.
- To produce knowledgeable, professionally sound and enlightened individuals able to contribute their share to the national and global development and welfare. It seeks to make them live up to the vision of a well-integrated material and spiritual world to have the courage to combat the divisive and mutually exclusive tendencies rampant in the present day society.
Governed by the principles of total quality management, the University is maintaining an internal mechanism of quality evaluation and is continuously striving to enhance the standard of education imparted at the various levels. The most significant evidence of Hamdard University’s success as an authentic, high-quality educational institution is its alumni, holding responsible positions in national and international organizations.
