    The scholarship has been constituted by the Jamia Journalism Alums Group in memory of Professor Obaid Siddiqui who founded the Convergent Journalism Programme at MCRC-Jamia and was a former director of the centre. He died on January 9, 2020.

    Aasma, a sociology graduate from Miranda House, University of Delhi, has been accepted for the MA Mass Communication programme this year at AJK Mass Communication Research Centre (MCRC) of Jamia Millia Islamia.

    “Congratulations, Aasma! MCRC is a place that provides equal opportunities and the best access to resources and people who are genuinely interested in the work they do,” said award-winning journalist and alumnus of MCRC, Neha Dixit (2006-2007) “Glad you are joining the MCRC community.”

    “With the help of the Prof. Obaid Siddiqui Memorial Scholarship, I will finally be able to enroll in Jamia ‘s Mass Communication programme, for which I am incredibly grateful,” said Aasma accepting the scholarship. “Thank you for your encouragement and support. This will set a precedent for many others like me who lack support but are brimming with skill and enthusiasm.”

    Professor Obaid Siddiqui Memorial Scholarship would be annually awarded to selected candidates of MCRC who are in need of financial support.

    Jamia Journalism Alums Group is an informal association of former and outgoing students of the Masters in Convergent Journalism (MACJ) programme of the university. Initiated as a post-graduate diploma in 2005, the Convergent Journalism programme took shape of a full-fledged Master’s course in 2007.

    Alumni of the Convergent Journalism programme are currently working in renowned news outlets like the Washington Post, New York Times, BBC, DW, Times group, Hindustan Times, The Quint, and The Wire amongst others. They have also been winners of awards like the Ramnath Goenka Award, Statesman award, UNFPA Laadli award and New India Fellowship.
