In 1912, an organization with this name was started by 2 visionaries in India, namely Haji Jalaluddin Haider and Nawab Mohsen Mirza, with a subscription of 2 rupees to help the needy and deserving students of the community.
At the time when Sir Syed’s Muslim University at Aligarh was gaining popularity in India, Anjuman’s initiative gave a boost to those bright students who did not have the means to continue higher education. This commitment to help deserving students gained momentum as more and more people joined the Anjuman and helped with finances and other available resources -- above all, with selfless propagation of Anjuman’s cause.
