Madrasa Hussainia, Kadru

Madrasa Hussainia founded by Muhammad Azhar Nomani in 1958 in the suburban area of Kadru, Ranchi, with the aim of promoting Islamic education among the local Muslim population. The foundation of the madrasa was laid on 29 April 1958 on a small plot of land in Kadru. The institution began with a single student and gradually expanded through public donations. The madrasa began with three students initially enrolled. Nomani remained the rector of the institution until his death on 13 May 2017. After his death, the madrasa's governing council (Majlis-e-Shura) appointed his son, Maulana Muhammad, who had been serving as deputy rector since 1996, as muhtamim (rector). == Campus and facilities ==
