In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful “Seeking Knowledge is obligatory on every Muslim, be it male or female”, said Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon Him). Despite this unambiguous directive, the Muslim women have lagged far behind in education. Sincere and sustained efforts are needed to raise the level of education of the Muslim women. As education is the chief instrument of empowerment, it was felt that the best way to bring higher education to Muslim girls, in particular, Muslim girls from Melapalayam, is to start a college of Arts and Science. Accordingly, As-Sathiq Educational Society was formed and registered as a society on 20.09.2002. It is the great act of generosity that Haji Er.S.K.Syed Ahamed, Haji.V.K.Mohamed Ghouse and Haji.Er.S.K.Kutha Mohamed willingly donated 3.05 acres of land owned by them for the noble purpose of establishing Annai Hajira Women’s College. It is our duty to thank the Tamil Nadu Government for sanctioning Annai Hajira Women’s College with Minority status through the G.O.Ms.No.306 dated 02.06.2004. At present, 6 programmes are offered, namely B.Sc. Mathematics (2 Batches), B.Sc.Computer Science, B.Com.(2 Batches), B.A.English, B.Sc.Physics and B.Sc.Chemistry and about 500 students are studying in the College.
