was formed as a formal primary educational institute, and the Nizam College and College of
Law were initiated in the year 1887 and 1899.

Establishment

A plan to establish a university in Hyderabad state was initiated in 1884. Wilfred Sewen
Blunt, a British educationist, prepared a proposal and presented it to the Nizam of
Hyderabad on 24 January 1884.The official decree was issued on 17 August 1917 for the
establishment of Osmania University. Inaugurated in 1918, the university has functioned
since 28 August 1919, with an initial enrollment of 225 students. Within the first decade of
its establishment, medicine and engineering faculties were started in 1927 and 1929, which
were accredited throughout the Indian subcontinent. The university college for women was
initiated in 1926, and in 1936 the arts college was started.
The university was established to cater to modern, secular, cultural, Islamic and regional arts
education, for which the medium of instruction was selected as Urdu and English as a
compulsory language, making it the first university in the Indian subcontinent to provide
education in native and Urdu language. The Translation Bureau and Publication section was
formed, which collected foreign and regional language textbooks along with literature,
sciences and other artworks from the world and translated them into the Urdu
language. Moreover, in 1974, the Progressive Women's Organization was formed in the
University which championed women's rights across India especially in the urban sector.

The architectural uniqueness stirs romance and the

stunning structure blows the mind. The unspoiled
edifice reveals majesty and is the nucleus of the 95-
year old Osmania University. This is the College
of Arts and Social Sciences of the famed OU,
popularly known as the Arts College. It is one of
the major heritage structures in Hyderabad. A
team of experts travelled around the world to find
the right design and the right person who could
design this historic masterpiece.
There are 27 odd departments in the
University College of Arts and Social Sciences
with a total intake of 50 students per course.
Though seats in all the departments were filled
during counselling, hardly 10-15 students
attend psychology, English, economics and
journalism classes.
 REASONS TO BE A MASTERPIECE

•The credit for the architecture goes to Monsieur

Jasper, a Belgian architect.
•Jasper prepared a detailed plan of all the university
buildings. The execution of the plans was done by
Nawab Zain Yar Jung, who was later awarded a
Padma Bhushan for his outstanding service to the
field of architecture.
•The building in pinkish granite stone represents a
harmonious blend of pillars and lintel style of Ajanta
and Ellora.
•The arches of the building are of Indo-Saracenic
tradition. Octagonal pillars similar to the columnar
architecture found in Ellora and Ajanta caves
support the entire construction of the first floor.
•The college exterior can be broadly divided into
the centrepiece consisting of a grand arch which has ELEVATION AND CROSS SECTION
a huge doorway designed after the Persian Pishtaq
or the mosque of the yesteryears. On the either side KITCHEN AND DINNING
of the centrepiece are two double-storied
colonnaded galleries, each reflection of the other.
The huge doorway with its marvellous arch,
welcomes the staff, students and all the visitors to
the striking interior.
•Inside the college you’ll find the flooring, staircase
balustrade and railings covered in pink terrazzo.
•The flooring of the first and the second floor was
done in Shahabad stones.
•Atop the centre of the hallway you’ll find a
fantastic dome with chandeliers set.
