The HIN is one of the headlight agenda of the current Board with the vision to build professional Hajj Managers to administer Hajj in the future.

The idea to establish a Hajj Institute was contained in NAHCON Establishment Act 2006 and was on the front burner of the successive board of the Commission but it witnessed a more rapid pursuit in 2020, when the Commission sought and obtained the Provisional Approval of the National Board for Technical Education,(NBTE) to establish and run the institution.
