Nadwa means assembly and group, it was named so because it was constituted by a group of Indian Islamic scholars from different theological schools.

It was eventually shifted to Lucknow in 1898 and the Islamic curriculum was updated with modern sciences, mathematics, vocational training and the addition of an English Department. [1] [4]
