ABOUT JMI

Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI)

Jamia Millia Islamia, an institution originally established at Aligarh in United Provinces, India in 1920 became a Central University by an act of the Indian Parliament in 1988. In Urdu language, Jamia means ‘University’, and Millia means ‘National’.

The story of its growth from a small institution in the pre-independence India to a central university located in New Delhi—offering integrated education from nursery to research in specialized areas—is a saga of dedication, conviction and vision of a people who worked against all odds and saw it growing step by step. They “built up the Jamia Millia stone by stone and sacrifice by sacrifice,” said Sarojini Naidu, the nightingale of India.

Overview of Programme

This workshop aims to provide participants with comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience in the latest techniques and tools used in drug design and computational biology. Emphasis will be placed on integrating computational methods with experimental data to streamline drug discovery and development processes.
