JMI VC interacts with teachers of the university

Newly appointed Jamia Millia Islamia(JMI) Vice-Chancellor, Najma Akhtar has had her first formal interaction with the teachers of the university at a function organised by the Jamia Teachers’ Association(JTA) on Tuesday.
During the interaction she said that JMI over the years has made a mark among the best institutions in the country and it is being regarded with a lot of respect not only among educationists and students but also among those who are involved in framing educational policies.
She spoke highly about the talent of the teachers in JMI and said that the type of research and courses that are available here are not found in any other university in the country.

Prof. Akhtar, who took over as JMI VC earlier this month, emphasised on gender equality in the campus and said that issue is close to her heart and that she would like to have exclusive programs for women education and empowerment. She sought suggestions from the teaching fraternity in this regard. She also said there is a need to increase the enrolment of girl students in the university.
