Abstract: This file contains a variety of correspondence, reports, and resolutions related to Miss Fatima Jinnah’s engagement with medical education, student organisations, and educational institutions in Pakistan between 1948 and 1957. A report from Lt. Col. S.M.K. Mallick (Inspector‑General of Civil Hospitals, West Punjab) details the progress of Fatima Jinnah Medical College for Women, Lahore, including staffing, admission procedures, and the establishment of a hostel. Resolutions from the Sind Provincial Muslim Students’ Federation express anger over the government’s neglect of Quaid‑i‑Azam’s birthday. The Students Welfare Society (Lahore) requests Miss Jinnah to become its patron.

Description: This file contains a diverse set of documents spanning 1948 to 1957, all addressed to or concerning Miss Fatima Jinnah. A detailed report on the establishment of Fatima Jinnah Medical College for Women in Lahore highlights the challenges of staffing and the dedication of faculty who gave up pensionable service. Student organisations express their devotion and protest perceived neglect of Quaid‑i‑Azam’s memory. Multiple educational institutions seek Miss Jinnah’s patronage, presence at prize distributions, or messages for student publications. The correspondence illustrates her symbolic importance as the “Mother of the Nation” and her continued involvement in educational and student affairs across Pakistan, even when unable to accept all invitations. The file provides insight into the early development of women’s medical education and the emotional significance of Quaid‑i‑Azam’s legacy in the post‑independence period. The documents were scanned by the National Archives of Pakistan. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
