Osmania University is a collegiate public state university located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Mir Osman Ali Khan, the 7th Nizam of Hyderabad, issued a firman calling for its creation on 29 August 1917. [2] It is the third oldest university in southern India, and the first to be established in the erstwhile Kingdom of Hyderabad. [3] [4] [5] It was the first Indian university to use Urdu as a language of instruction, [2] although with English as a compulsory subject. [6] As of 2012, the university hosts 3,700 international students from more than 80 nations. [7]

In 1917, Sir Akbar Hydari, in a memorandum to the Education Minister, emphasized the need to establish a university in Hyderabad with Urdu as the medium of instruction, "as it is the language of the widest currency in India". [12] On 26 April 1917, the Nizam of Hyderabad Mir Osman Ali Khan issued a firman to establish the Osmania University. [13]

The university began functioning in 1918 in a building adjacent to the Nizam College at Basheerbagh. [14] Arts and theology were the only two faculties offered, and the first batch consisted of 225 students and 25 faculty members. [15]

The government invited Patrick Geddes and Edwin Jasper to set up a permanent campus of the university. [16] Geddes surveyed prospective locations and presented his report in 1923. [13] Jasper drew up the building plans and the Nizam laid the foundation stone for the campus on July 5, 1934. [13] After Jasper left Hyderabad, the state architect Zain Yar Jung supervised the construction of the campus. [17]

Post-Independence (1947-present)

After independence and the accession of Hyderabad State in 1948, the university fell under the purview of the state government. After the election of the first state government, the central government announced plans to convert Osmania University into a central university with Hindi as the medium of instructions. However, this led to protests and with pressure from the Mulki agitation, the plan was dropped. [18] Eventually, English replaced Urdu as the medium of instruction, and the Nizam's crown was also removed from the university seal.
