AMU gives itself pan-India character


By Brij Khandelwal
Aligarh, March 11: The Aligarh Muslim University is trying to make itself compatible with the changing times and needs of the society despite resentment from within.
Vice-chancellor P.K. Abdul Azis is keen that the institution joins the ranks of the best in the field of education.
The vice chancellor told the IANS that a proposal to open five new centres of the university to give it an identifiable all-India character is awaiting clearance from the Ministry of Human Resources Development (HRD), while four examinations centres have started functioning this year.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has also given Rs.70 million to the university's technical college, the Zakir Hussain College of Engineering and Technology (ZHCET), to upgrade it to the level of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
