Established on May 20, 1983 to answer the social needs of the society, the Islamic Azad University was greatly enlarged in line with the policy adopted by the Late Imam Khomeini, the Mehr News Agency quoted Abdollah Jasbi as saying, on the occasion of the anniversary of the establishment of the university.
