Founded in 1982 by Anwar Jamal Kidwai (former VC of Jamia Millia Islamia and later, Chairman of the Centre), AJK Mass Communication Research Centre (MRC) is a premier media institution in India and one of the constituent units of Jamia Millia Islamia.

These efforts have been constantly appreciated and supported by generous grants from the government and other international agencies like Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

To provide international exposure and expertise to the students, the centre has also forged collaborative ties with the University of York, Toronto (Canada), University of Westminster, London(UK) and Sciences Po, Paris(France).
