Speaking on the occasion Prof. Akhtar highlighted the need for educating girls and asked the governing body members to ensure that they are admitted in the school in equal ratio as that of boys. She suggested that to achieve the objective, parents of girls should be taken into confidence and convinced to send them for schooling.
She said that besides providing education, the schools run by the society should also impart proper career guidance to enable students to choose right career.
Dr. S.Y. Quraishi, who is the member of the governing body of the society and patron, traced the history of the school, founded in 1696, and said that even the founder of the Aligarh Muslim University(AMU) Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan was its alumnus. It is a matter of pride, he said, that Prof. Akhtar is also a product of AMU and is now heading JMI as its first women VC.
