Ever since the establishment of Aligarh Muslim University Student Union (AMUSU), ideologically it was believed to act as a catalyst for student welfare and refine the process of administration. It was to work in close co-ordinance with A.M.U Administration. No doubt as the structure of A.M.U, Student Union comes to be dominated by Resident Hall Student who indeed did a lot for student welfare.
In the backdrop of 21st century with new objective, goals and issues, Student Union effectiveness come to be questioned especially after being suspended by our Vice-Chancellor on grounds of misconduct. Student Union was considered to be a democratic body but rumors always did rounds about political support behind various candidates. Misuse of authority like restoring to Dharnas for petty benefits, disturbing classes and causing problems to local aligarians, on contrary it is believed they were causing problems for administration who indulged in money-minting, misuse of UGC funds, even corruption charges were also levied against Student Union when it was restored last time around in 2005.
But keeping past aside, future doesn’t reflect the same with rigorous struggles we have won back our union, weather leaders deserved or not is issue irrelevant now. I do, agree that lot has been done this time around establishment of Central Placement Cell, Cultural fests, Student Interaction Program, improvement in living conditions of halls, really future does after a lots of hope. Recently, an International debate is also being organized by Student Union along with student interaction summit. We do believe that a lot more needs to be done but Student Union member needs to be complemented in their efforts but at the same time some disturbing news reach us. Mostly students complain that the leaders do not address their more immediate problems and are beyond their access. Student leaders and their friends exploit and threat the administration member for petty benefits. Moving above all this your invaluable comments are also invited.
