Newly elected AMUSU President and Bachelors in Dental Surgery student, Mashkoor Ahmad Usmani said that he would work not only as President but as a brother to the students community and there would be no place for those who use the banner of Students' Union for their personal gains by threatening people or collecting fief.

Masters in Agricultural Economics and Business Management student, Mohd Fahad who has been elected as the Honorary Secretary said that he will work on revival of AMU’s rich traditions while building trust with the students and bringing transparency in the University.
