So far the college has produced more than thousands trained teachers. It is a matter of pride that in terms of training facilities and performance our college is ranked among the finest in the state. Of all the twelve D.Ed college in Mumbbai ours in the only college that has been registering good result.

The college came into being as a result of the state government’s policy to provide training facilities to primary teachers and Anjuman’s eagerness to provide education and professional training to the community.

Mrs. Zakia Khatib approached the Anjuman with the idea of a teacher’s training college. The Anjuman promptly accepted the idea and started a pre-primary teachers training college in 1970.

The very next year it obtained Government recognition with a one year certificate course which was up-graded to a two year diploma course in 1975. From the beginning it was an English medium institute. In 1976 the medium of instruction was changed to Urdu to benefit Urdu speaking candidates and to provide trained teachers to Urdu medium schools. This has greatly helped Muslim Girls.

Finally in 1983 the syllabus was changed and the diploma holder was allowed to teach from Pre-Primary to standard VIII. It is a Government recognized course. The examination is conducted by Maharashtra State Bureau of Examination, Pune. Like all Anjuman institutions, the college enjoys Minority status. The college offers a golden opportunity to our Urdu speaking women to make a career in teaching at a very low cost.

The college is named after Mr. Moinuddin Harris who was one of the presidents and a long time functionary of the Anjuman-I-Islam. He was also a freedom fighter, MLC, school worker and community leader. In recognition of his long and valuable services to the Anjuman , the college was named after him in 1986 at a grand function.

In the beginning the college was located in Anjuman’s A.D. Bawla Female orphanage building at Lalbaug. Then it was shifted to the building of Anjuman’s High School of Commerce at Maulana Shaukat Ali Road for some time. In 1975 it was moved to Mahim Girls High School and now it is housed in Anjuman’s new five-storey building at Mahim. The college occupies the two floors of the building.it has classrooms, a guidance-cum-discussion room, staff room, library and laboratory facilities, an office and other amenities.

The college conducts a full time two-year course with classes held six days a week from 9.00 a.m. To 4.30 p.m. it is open to women who have passed standard XII through Urdu Medium with English, Marathi and Hindi. The medium of instruction is Urdu. The extensive course covers all aspects to teaching with a modern approach it includes co-curricular activities such as cultural programmes, sports, teaching aids, educational visits, essay writing, story elocution, demonstrations, camps, non-formal education of children, and interaction with social organizations.

The college is running to its full capacity of 60 students, 30 in the First Year and 30 in the Second year. All of them are Muslims.

Today a degree or a diploma in education is a must for appointment as a teacher. Trained teachers are in demand with a preference for women teachers. A number of our past students have secured jobs in private as well as Government Schools. Some have started their own schools.
