Nawab Mohsinul Mulk, Mahdi Ali (1837-1907) was one of the brightest stars on Sir Syed�s horizon of social reforms. He dedicated himself fully to the cause Sir Syed stood for.
He was born at Etawah (UP) in 1837 and rose from the position of an ordinary clerk to a very high rank in the service of the Nizam of Hyderabad, where he got the title of Mohsinul Mulk Mohsin-ud-Daula. After Sir Syed�s death he became the Secretary of the M.A.O. College in 1899. At a time when Sir Syed had few friends and his demands for funds knew no limits, it was Mehdi Ali who would send him his pay for Sir Syed�s publication programme in London.
In matters of raising loans, collecting donations and executing several of Sir Syed�s programmes and projects, he worked, as the right hand man of his leader. The Hall has been named after him. The foundation stone of the Hall was laid by the then Vice Chancellor, Mr. Badruddin Tyabji on November 4, 1963. It started with an initial strength of 400 and is now one of the largest residential Halls both in size and strength, having 900 students and six different hostels:
