As we are all aware that with the rapid growth in the developing country like India a lot of opportunities are going to present themselves to the youth of this country to come forward and make their mark in various fields. However, this will only be possible with result oriented guidance, motivation and by discovering & nurturing the talent and proper harnessing of our youth power. Hence in this largest democracy of the world, it is imperative that the deserving youths from every strata of the society including minorities are given their dues & that they are properly represented in our society. But this is only possible if proper education is imparted to them so that they acquire the required educational degrees & skills to face the challenges of the fast changing social & economical scenario. Azad Educational Society which is a nonprofit society was established in the year 1991 in Lucknow with a clear vision to give such students a new vision, motivation, zeal & enthusiasm to do something productive for the society and the country as a whole. Taking an initiative on its own Azad Educational Society took some concrete steps so that the benefits of the government’s educational policies are passed on to the society by opening a skills training centre, entrepreneur training cell and a computer business running programme. Not to be satisfied with these achievements the group of eminent personalities running the society relentlessly pursuing their vision & mission of working for the well-being & betterment of the backward & other lower strata of the society including minorities, in the year 1998 established Azad Group Of Educational Institutions, duly approved by AICTE and affiliated to GBTU Know known as AKTU or Dr. A. At present under the banner of Azad Technical Campus Lucknow which also in the long list of Firsts from Azad Educational Society is the 1st Technical Campus in UP, branches of Engineering UG programmes, BBA & BTC as well as PG programmes such as M.Tech., M.Pharma., MBA and MCA are running. Azad Group of Educational Institutions (AGEI) Lucknow now consists of the following:

Azad Institute of Pharmacy and Research, Lucknow (AKTU Code-197)
Azad Degree College (LU Code-1055) an Institution offering BBA & BTC courses and affiliated to Lucknow University was established, thereby strengthening the ‘Educational Awareness Campaign’ of the Azad Group. Presently in these Institutions, more than 2000 students are building their careers in various technical, pharmacy and management courses, among them are many students from economically weaker section who have been selected on merit basis and who are being helped to obtain various scholarships from both state & central government. Azad Educational Society is also providing scholarships to the meritorious students and financial help to the underprivileged students from its own sources. Azad Campuses offer ‘Inclusive Development Environment’, with ‘Collaborative Learning Ecosystem”, to each of its students. This implies that the procedures and processes and the teaching & learning environment at the institutions are in line with the international requirements. These have lead to the AICTE recognition of the institutions as a Technical campus. Azad Society’s institutions are actively engaged in realizing the so-called 24X7 learning environment. This computer network based collaborative environment facilitates learning through interactions among students and web resources and promotes mixing together of work and play surfing and socialization.
