A mother's lap is the first school of a child. However, the Schools play a very important role in laying a strong foundation of a quality education and are influential in determining the interest, habit, character and all-around personality of a student. The Old Girls Association of Aligarh Muslim University, Women's College, showed its appreciation for early child hood development by establishing this Nursery School in 1957 with the donations received on the occasion of the 80th birthday of Dr. Sheikh Abdullah Saheb (popularly known as Papa Mian).  He was not only the founder of Women's College at Aligarh, but also, a pioneer in the field of Women's Education. The school has been named as Abdullah Nursery & Primary School in his honour. After the successful completion of the first year (July 1957 to July 1958) the Aligarh Muslim University took over the management of the school with effect from August 1958. The continued success of the Nursery School prompted the university authorities to decide in favour of starting the primary classes (up to class V) with effect from the session 1959-60. The age limit for admission to class I has been fixed at 5 plus years. Till the session 2018-19 this school was running in two shifts. Now from the session 2019-20 both shifts has been merged. The timings of Abdullah School is from 7:30 am to 1:25 pm.Women’s education has always been a struggle throughout the centuries, Aligarh being no exception faced various hurdles while establishing a space for young Muslim women as opposed to the traditional Muslims who wanted their daughters confined within the purdah. On 1st March, 1914, Begum Sultan Jahan, the ruler of Bhopal inaugurated the school following which girls appeared for the first time in Middle school examination and UP board. Soon, the school led way to a college within the premises and graduation course of B.A was introduced in 1935. Mumtaz Jahan Haider or lovingly called as ‘Mumtaz Apa’, had returned to Aligarh after completing her education in 1937 and was appointed as the Principal of the college in 1940. She completely dedicated herself to women’s education and fought against the patriarchal norms which attempted to limit women within the conservative Islamic tradition. Ko became independent women with well-rounded personalities so that they can assert themselves... She would actively be accompanying the students in the all female Basant and Sawan and the musical soirees in winter evenings on the plush carpets of her Mrs. Mumtaz Jahan Haider was extremely nurturing towards the girls in her institution who saw her as a mother-figure. As a person who was defiant towards the Purdah system and advocated the importance of women’s education, Mumtaz Apa stands out as a personality who was a threat to the stringent male centrist educational system. Serving the college for thirty-one years, she carried out her parents’ vision of educating Muslim women in an extraordinary manner, "which is why she was awarded Padma Vibhushan in 2006".

Tell someone you love them today because tomorrow is not promised to my family and my friends
