Aligarh Muslim University: A Journey to APEX

Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), no doubt it is one of the most academically oriented educational institutes in India, producing most feat-crushing talents like Nashruddin Shah, Javed Akhtar, Kapil Dev and Hamid Ansari who defined and changed the meaning and outlook of modern India. Be in any field science- arts, AMU Students set their own benchmarks. However, with dawn of new century changing perceptions of people, A.M.U has somewhat lagged behind in keeping up to its reputation of home of great talents, learners and achievers.

AMU legs behind in number of fields as compared to any other Indian University, be it lack of Central Placement Cell, Wi-Fi campus, on-board facilities for students, training facilities, orientation of teachers, weeding of outside influences, improving facilities in resident halls and some many problems are there. All this has lead to unrest among students and they tend to develop inferiority complex.

Few measures as a student, we feel could be taken to improve current situation are-
  • People from alumni and old boys associations should be given top administrative post as they are well aware of its culture, traditions and expectations of Aligarians.

  • Campus should be provided computers with Wi-Fi facilities to increase knowledge per student.

  • Authority should be bear this in mind that lots need to be done to improve current campus facilities, instead of opening outside campuses and transferring assets from here like books.

  • Placement Cell should be established and improved on-board facilities for students.

  • Canteen Facilities should also be provided to all faculties like the most important faculty i.e Department Of Commerce doesn’t have any canteen.

In the 21st Century, dreams of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and his intentions behind establishment of AMU most not be forgotten.
I hope we students as future policy makers would pay attention on this. If you have some more extra valuable suggestions you are most likely invited to comment here.
