The institution was founded in the 1970s in Jizzakh through the personal initiative of the prominent statesman and public figure Sharof Rashidov. In 1989, the institute was named after the renowned Uzbek writer Abdulla Qodiriy. In 2022, by the initiative and decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev, it was granted official university status, marking a significant stage in its institutional development.
