WELCOME TO Al-Iqra Teachers' Training College

Equal opportunity is the fundamental principle of our sacred constitution of India. Our Indian society is based on numerous religious, cultural communities, caste and creed, India as a whole is one nation, despite different fragrances of race, religion, caste and creed. Our very constitution creates a sense of equal opportunity and responsibility in us to share in the development of the nation as a whole.
The makers of the constitution, keeping in view the welfare of the Indian society have made good for progress of all communities suffering on account of educational and economic backwardness. It was not less important an issue before them to look into the backwardness of the minority community in India based on the linguistic, cultural and religious heritage. Muslim minority in India is one of the recognised linguistic and religious minority.
Article "30(i)" was provisioned to guard the educational interest of minority communities providing privileges to establish educational institution of their choice piercing there in article "29" sensing to maintain the secular standard of the right granted to minority community under the above said article "30" of the constitution of India. The privilege to establish institution and to cater education particularly in the minority community is unfettered right granted to the minority but not baring the interest of other community in general. Our secular government too with the passage of time. formulated various programmes for the upliftment of educationally and economically backward and downtrodden communities.
The Muslim community based on religion, linguistic and cultural heritage is the biggest minority community representing the Indian society as a whole but is educationally and economically extremely backward. The Jharkhand state now being an independent new state cannot imagine to prosper at all levels, unless greater importance is chosen, to give progress to the pace of development of the masses. The population of Jharkhand predominantly rests upon the Mining activities and is deprived of educational upliftment.
