Osmania University was established.

On April 26, 1917, Mir Osman Ali Khan, the 7th Nizam of Hyderabad, issued a firman establishing OU, named after himself. This followed a memorandum by Sir Akbar Hydari, Home Secretary, emphasizing the need for a university with Urdu as the medium of instruction to reflect the state’s cultural identity.
