Bihar is unfortunately backward
so far as Engineering education is concerned. There are only 7
Engineering colleges(3 Govt. & 4 private) in Bihar which has a
population of 8.7% of the total population of India.
Prominent citizens
of the state decided to establish a society for the educational
upliftment of the state with an emphasis on minority education.
Realising that technical education was the only vehicle for upliftment of
muslim communities. Some eminent, highly qualified and sensetive persons
of the community like the Mr. Justice S. Sarwar Ali, Mr. Justice S. Ali
Ahmad, Mr. Fahimuddin Ahmad(I.A.S, former Addl. chief secretary of Bihar)
formed a Society named "Millat Education Society" registered in
1986 under the Societies Registration Act 1860.
The society began its pursuits for the attainment of its cherished goal,
decided to sponsor an Engineering
College at Patna
Which was named after Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, a great intellectual, an
ideologue, an eminent politician and first Education Minister in free India.
The college was
established in 1988 in donated buildings at Anisabad, Patna-2 which is
now its city office. The college has now full
fledged campus in a sprawling 19 acres of land at Neora which is 9 kms
from the Danapur railway station.
