Jamia Hamdard is a university located in New Delhi, India. It was established in 1989. Our Revered Founder Janab Hakeem Abdul Hameed Saheb, a true Gandhian in spirit and simplicity was born in Delhi on September 14, 1908. No account of Hakeem Saheb can be complete without the mention of his illustrious father, Janab Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed and his mother Rabia Begum. Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed received and improved the ancient system of Unani medicine and therapeutics. Hakeem Abdul Majeed wanted a large number of people to benefit from its efficacy and therefore gave the name “Hamdard” to his fledging venture. The Unani system introduced by the father was rejuvenated all over the world by the illustrious son Hakeem Abdul Hameed Saheb, and true to the name "HAMDARD" Hakeem Abdul Hameed Saheb, grew up to be an epitome of sympathy. Hakim Sahib lost his father when he was just fourteen, but he proved to the world that he had nerves of steel and muscles of iron and thus carried out the task of his father. His mother was indeed a source of perennial strength to her children. Hakim Sahib had his early education in Madarsa Rehmani and in 1915 was admitted in a school.
