Wednesday, June 24, 2009, ummid.com Correspondent

Aligarh: Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is all set to establish special centers at four places in the country to regain the National status.

"AMU has taken a historic decision to regain its national status by establishing four special centers in the backward areas dominated by the minority community in India", Vice Chancellor Prof. P. K. Abdul Aziz said in his address to the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Court meeting that was held on Monday. He was reffering to the decision taken by the University a couple of weeks back.

"To regain the National Status is the top most priority for us. Hence despite the proposals that suggested to establish centers outside the country in line with other universities, it was decided to utilize all our energies to establish special centers at Murshidabad in West Bengal, Katihar in Bihar, Kozikode in Kerala and Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh on priority basis", said Prof. Azhar Delhvi - a Court Member while speaking to ummid.com.

"The Court has also decided to lend all the support to the University for communicating with the respective state governments for land allotment and to fulfill other requirements needed to establish these centers", he said.

Earlier the Court meeting, presided over by by Justice Ahmadi - Chancellor of the University and Former Chief Justice of India, besides passing the annual accounts of the University and the audit report of the Principal Accountant General discussed at length various challenges facing the University.

Assuring the Court that the University is fully prepared to face the global challenges Vice Chancellor Professor Aziz said, "Apart from setting e-Governance in motion and establishing Digital Resource Centre, owing to the special emphasis laid on high quality research, many new research projects are already awarded to the University."

Stating that the University has made its admission tests fully transparent by providing answer booklets and OMR sheets uploaded on the University website before the results are announced, he said, "Efforts are now on to conduct the admission tests outside Aligarh in Kolkata, Kozhikode, Bhopal, Lucknow and Hyderabad so that students of different regions especially Muslims get an opportunity to study in AMU."

The meeting also elected noted Islamic scholar Maulana Abdul Wahab Khilji, Maulana Ataur Rahman Qasmi and Chaudhary Mateen as members of the Aligarh Muslim University Court, informed Prof. Azhar Delhvi.

The AMU Court that has around hundred members is comprised of prominent Muslim personalities with proven track records in their respective fields from all across the country.
