New Centres Heralds a Beginning of Resurgence

Dr. Rahat Abrar

The mission of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, a symbol of Muslim renaissance in India was not only to establish an educational institution at Aligarh but his vision was that this institution gains the central position among Muslims by providing them leadership in educational matters and all Muslim institutions are affiliated with this. It is a great moment that the dream of Sir Syed is going to materialize with the establishment of Aligarh Muslim University’s centres in Murshidabad (West Bengal) and Malappuram (Kerala). It looks pertinent to turn attention to the chronology of events that culminated into establishment of new centres of AMU.

On February 8, 1873 while addressing a meeting of Mohammadan Anglo-Oriental College Fund Committee, Sir Syed’s illustrious son, Justice Syed Mahmood submitted the plan of

proposed Aligarh Muslim University and suggested that the University might establish schools in the University town and “elsewhere”.

Laying the foundation stone of Mohammadan Anglo-Oriental College on January 8, 1877, Sir Syed said before Lord Lytton that “from seed which we sow there may spring up a mighty tree whose branches, like those of Banyan of the soil, shall in their turn strike from roots into earth and themselves send forth new and vigorous saplings; that this college may expand into a University whose sons shall go throughout the length and breadth of the land to preach the gospel of free enquiry of large hearted toleration, and pure morality”

While welcoming the then Governor General Lord Rippon at MAO College in 1884, the founder of the college, Sir Syed said that “the aim is to extending these schemes to places other than Aligarh”.

After the demise of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in 1898, Sir Syed Memorial Fund was created in different parts of country and the effort for the establishment of a Muslim University was sped up. All the persons associated with this movement wanted all Muslim institutions of India to be affiliated to the Muslim University.

Dr. Sir Ziauddin, while presenting the idea of the Muslim University at Lahore session of All India Muslim Educational Conference in 1898, discussed at length the concept of a University and emphasized the importance of the right of affiliating colleges. Moving a step ahead, Maulvi Rafiuddin gave his own plan of the proposed Muslim University in a British periodical ‘Nineteenth Century’. He contemplated to widen its jurisdiction to all Muslims who lived in the British Empire and recommended affiliation of colleges all over the globe to this proposed University.

Theodore Beck, the Principal of M. A. O. College also advocated that such a Muslim University should have the power to affiliate all Muslim Institutions spread all over the country. In 1903, while addressing the annual session of All India Muslim Educational Conference, Sir Agha Khan delivered a very impressive speech in favour of a Central Muslim University at the Mumbai session. He wanted this University to be given the power to affiliate colleges all over the country in order to achieve the goal of establishing a Central Muslim University.

On April 17, 1911, a special debate was organized in the new building of Students’ Union in which affiliation of all Muslim institutions was emphasized. The same year in November, the draft constitution of the proposed Muslim University was submitted to London by the Government of India with the recommendation that the power of affiliation could be granted as there will be no abuse of it, if properly controlled.

The British Government was very apprehensive that in the name of Muslim University, Muslims of India might get united once again and the Aligarh movement might take a political turn, for the students of Aligarh were prominently active in the freedom struggle and the Jamia Millia Islamia came into origin on the very stairs of University Mosque.

On December 17, 1920, AMU Act came into force and the University was permitted to establish and maintain intermediate colleges and schools but very restricted powers of affiliating colleges and schools in the Aligarh district were given.

In 1968, the Beg Committee proposed to the Government of India that Aligarh Muslim University may be granted power to establish institutions of higher education and research outside the University campus.

On October 17, 2002, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mr. Digvijay Singh while addressing the Sir Syed’s birth anniversary celebration announced to provide free land for setting up of a Centre of the Aligarh Muslim University or a similar minority educational institution in Madhya Pradesh besides allocating one crore rupees.

After the announcement of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, the Gharib Nawaz Foundation invited the Aligarh Muslim University Vice Chancellor, Mr. Nasim Ahmad at a function organized in Bhopal on July 21, 2003. On July 24, 2004, the Gharib Nawaz Foundation presented a memorandum to the Union Minister of Human Resource Development, Mr. Arjun Singh demanding for the establishment of a centre of Aligarh Muslim University in Bhopal. MHRD forwarded the proposal to UGC for action.

The University Grants’ Commission on January 28, 2005 informed Gharib Nawaz Foundation that the Aligarh Muslim University has been asked to submit a detailed proposal in this regard. MHRD drew the attention of AMU to a resolution passed by the ‘national monitoring committee for Minorities education’ held on July 11-12,2006 indicating that AMU might be permitted to open another campus.

In the meantime, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, Shri Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, Mr. Manmohan Singh on March 30, 2007 requesting for establishment of the Aligarh Muslim University centre in Murshidabad. MHRD forwarded the letter to AMU and suggested that the proposal be examined in terms of Section 12(2) of the AMU Act. MHRD again requested the University that the proposal be approved by the appropriate bodies of the University before the Ministry could process the request for obtaining necessary sanction to the visitor.

On November 21, 2007, the Education Minister of Kerala, Mr. M. A. Baby met the Union Minister of State for HRD, Mr. M. A. A. Fatmi and requested to establish Aligarh Muslim University campus at Malappuram.

Earlier to this, while addressing AMU Court, the apex body of the University on January 21, 2007, the former Vice Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University, Mr. Saiyid Hamid suggested that the Government should either establish new Universities in India to meet the educational need of the minorities or Aligarh Muslim University should be allowed to start its campuses throughout the country.

Prof. P. K. Abdul Azis, after accepting the responsibilities of Vice Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University on June 11, 2007, focused on the all round development of the University to fulfill Sir Syed’s dreams. On December 2, 2007 at the meeting of University Court, Dr. Mohammad Asif Khan moved a resolution that the University should establish Specil centers in North, South, East and west covering different regions under section 12(2) of AMU Act. The supreme governing body of the University approved the resolution.

The proposal to establish five centres at Katihar (Bihar), Pune (Maharashtra), Malappuram (Kerala), Murshidabad (West Bengal) and Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) was put before the Executive Council in its meeting on January 17, 2008 which was unanimously approved. Later, the proposal for Katihar was changed over to Kishanganj on request of the Chief Minister of Bihar. The Academic Council of the University endorsed the above resolution to establish the centres and authorized the Vice Chancellor to take necessary follow up actions. He was also urged to take initiative in the context of the mandate given to AMU by the Parliament “to promote especially the educational and cultural advancement of the Muslims of India”.

Honoring the decision of the EC, AC and the University Court of the University, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. P. K. Abdul Azis submitted a proposal to the government of India for the “establishment of new five centres of AMU in the Muslim dominated educationally backward and under developed regions of India’. The proposal represented the biggest and most far-sighted initiatives of AMU in the context of Sachar Committee and Fatmi Committee reports.

AMU Vice Chancellor also wrote a letter to the Chief Ministers of all five states requesting them to provide 250-400 acres of land free from all encumbrances and free of cost to the University for the establishment of AMU Centres. The Kerala, West Bengal and Bihar governments responded positively and assured the University of their Full Cooperation in the establishment of its Centres.

The Aligarh Muslim University had submitted a detailed proposal to the Government of India for establishment of AMU Centres along with an estimate of expenditure on February 13, 2008. Responding to AMU’s proposal the Central Government allocated Rs. 25 Crore each for the establishment of Malappuram (Kerala) and Murshidabad (Murshidabad) centres in its 2009-2010 annual budget. The President of India in her capacity as the Visitor of the

4

University provisionally accorded approval for the establishment of these centres under Section 12(2) of the University Act.

When Sir Syed Ahmad Khan established M. A. O. College in 1877, its area was only 78 acres of land but now it has reached to one thousand acres and with the addition of six hundred acres of land given by the Kerala and West Bengal governments free of cost, the University has taken a big leap in this direction. Today the products of Sir Syed’s institution are spread over 92 countries and perhaps this is the only University of India whose students are found in every part of the world. Sir Syed was the first Muslim social reformer who exhorted Muslims to gain modern education and helped them come out of the ghettos of ignorance. The establishment of these two centres should be considered as a glorious chapter in the history of Aligarh Muslim University. These centres would pave way for an educational revolution among Muslims and the institution considered a symbol of Muslims’ glory would expand its area of activity. Its centres would be established in other states as well and when the University would be organizing its centenary celebrations in 2020, new Muslim Universities would be taking birth from the Aligarh Muslim University.

CCaammppuuss AAccttiivviittiieess Sir Syed Day Celebrated

The 193rd birth anniversary of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan was celebrated with traditional gaiety at Aligarh Muslim University. A largely attended commemorative meeting, prize distribution of All India Essay Writing Competition, book exhibition, Quran Khwani and floral tribute at the grave of Sir Syed marked the occasion.

Delivering the commemorative address, Nawab Ibne Saeed Khan of Chhatari, former Honorary Treasurer of the University said that AMU is not just an institution but it should provide the affection of a father and caring of a mother to the students. The students need discipline of a father and love and affection of a mother.

He said that democracy provides right to everyone and its demand is also genuine but it also imposes restrictions in public interest. It is true that democracy preaches for the liberty but it also advocates for limitations or it would become an autocracy. If students cross this limit, then the message becomes a subject of criticism.

He pointed out that Sir Syed’s mission riveted on two objectives – education and character building but today we see a visible lack of stress on character building. He said that the students are the brand ambassadors of this

institution. Wherever the alumni of this great seat of learning have gone, they have laid down the Aligarh’s spirit of establishing associations, colleges and the university and have acquainted the world with the great movement.

Presiding over the commemorative meeting at Kennedy Hall today, AMU Vice Chancellor, Prof. P. K. Abdul Azis said “The creation of two centres has revived the spirit of Aligarh Movement as it enkindles new hope in Muslims who are still mired in educational backwardness. The approval of the Centre is the most befitting tribute to Sir Syed who strove for ameliorating the condition of Muslims”.

Prof. Azis said that the Muslims living in West Bengal and Kerala are exulted and five more states – Assam, Rajasthan, Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh have requested the University to open centres as more and more states want Muslims to take up education on priority basis. Prof. Azis hoped that more centres would eventually emerge as full-fledged universities. By 2020, when AMU celebrates its centenary, it would not be the only university

as new centres complement it. The Vice Chancellor declared that the admission to BALLB and MBA at new centres will be notified very soon. It is heartening to note that Sir Syed’s Prof. Azis said that the Muslims living in West Bengal and Kerala are exulted and five more states – Assam, Rajasthan, Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh have requested the University to open centres as more and more states want Muslims to take up education on priority basis. Prof. Azis hoped that more centres would eventually emerge as full-fledged universities. By 2020, when AMU celebrates its centenary, it would not be the only university as new centres complement it. The Vice Chancellor declared that the admission to BALLB and MBA at new centres will be notified very soon. It is heartening to note that Sir Syed’s dream of spreading education among Muslims across the country has come true after a century.

Paying rich tributes to Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Prof. P. K. Abdul Azis said that Sir Syed judiciously blended modern education with Islamic teachings and set the Muslims on the path of resurgence.

He asked students not to be carried away by any consideration except education that will arrest all pervading sense of deprivation. Cultivation of a sense of belonging will enable students to get associated with nation building, he exhorted. He urged the students to rededicate themselves to the ideals of Sir Syed and brook no suggestion that put their future into jeopardy.

Prof. Ali Mohammad Naqvi, Dean, Faculty of Theology highlighted the five-fold mission of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. He said that there were great personalities like Raja Rammohan Roy, Keshab Chandra Sen, Vidyasagar but they have not left any institution which may have shaped the history as Sir Syed did.

He said that Sir Syed Mission has reconstruction of religious thought in Islam and revival of its rational spirit.

While paying tribute to Sir Syed, Prof. Qazi Afzal Husain, Dean, Faculty of Arts said that Sir Syed was a symbol of secularism and he himself instituted a medal to non-Muslim students. He said that Sir Syed was a great social reformer of nineteenth century.

In his welcome address, AMU Registrar, Prof. V. K. Abdul Jaleel said that the commencement of AMU’s centres in Murshidabad and Malappuram this year is the greatest tribute our nation is paying to the legendary contributions made by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan for the promotion of education. He said that today we are organizing the founder’s day commemorative meeting in a modest way because of

some factors which are beyond our control. On this occasion, Nawab Ibne Saeed Khan of Chhatari presented the award of All India Essay Writing

and it is the moral duty of every Indian to keep the spirit alive. Prof. Hasan said that Mahatma Gandhi is the one of the greatest leaders that the world has ever seen. His

unending belief in non-violence helped India achieve freedom from British rule. It was the impact of Mahatma Gandhi’s observance that United Nation had to unanimously declare October 2 as International Non-violence Day.

But as the University court has constituted a committee to review the Act of the University to bring it in tune with the modern requirements, the process of Union restoration has to wait for some more time.

Prof. Azis reiterated that the necessary action would be taken to restore the Students’ Union as soon as the report is submitted by the committee.

The students of the Grievance Committee who are the toppers of the University, clarified that they were not a party to the Dharna outside the Vice Chancellor’s Lodge and they wanted to have peaceful academic environment to continue in the University. The students aired their grievances and brought to the attention of the Vice Chancellor various problems they are facing in their departments of studies and courses.

The Vice Chancellor assured the students that the issues they have raised would be addressed in expeditious manner. 127 Got Admission to Residential Coaching Academy

VC Seeks Student’s Cooperation AMU Vice Chancellor, Prof. P. K. Abdul Azis has appealed to the students to extend their support to expand and

modernize the institution and stay away from Dharna related activities launched by a few misguided students. Expressing his anguish, he said that he was deeply pained at the way a few students along with some former

students began a dharna in front of his lodge on 4.10.2010. It is really unfortunate that the Aligarh Muslim University is witnessing again a repeat of the turmoil that was witnessed in 2009 resulting in the sine die, and loss of classes, he added.

Explaining the recent strides, he observed that with great deal of effort, the teachers and students of the University have brought the University back on the normal academic track. All examinations, including entrance tests, were conducted, results published and admissions completed on time. Students were experiencing a vastly impressive and satisfying academic environment to pursue studies. This needs to be preserved and nurtured if the greater objective of preparing oneself for a better career in the world of competitive survival is to be realized, he added.

Prof. Azis said that the University was compelled to dissolve the Students’ Union in 2007 consequent to the lawlessness, violence and murder of three students. No institution can afford to allow continued violence and crime in the campus. A University cannot progress if its academic environment is disturbed.

Unfortunately, a few students supported by some outside elements and ex-students of doubtful credentials have started a dharna apparently demanding restoration of the Students’ Union. They are being backed with money and muscle power by certain quarters to gain political mileage. It is a disturbing situation to the University now.

While explaining the difficulty, he said that the AMU Court has decided to review the Act to bring it in tune with the modern times and since a Committee under Mr. Moosa Raza, an eminent retired Civil Servant is seriously engaged in the process of reviewing. The students’ request would be considered only after the Committee of Court Members submits the report. The committee has been advised to submit the report within three to four months. This is the minimum time needed for the AMU Administration to act on the demand, he added.

Prof. Abdul Azis felt that the University is poised to celebrate the Sir Syed Day. It is poised to open new Centres in Murshidabad and Malappuram. A lot of Selection Committees were on the anvil for the next three months. Our principal focus will be on academics. If peace is not maintained in the campus, our plans will be scuttled. Let us together avoid it. The University Administration needs the support of all of you to expand and modernise the institution. The elements inciting you are not your friends, they are the real enemies of the institution. He appealed to all the students to remain detached from the dharna and related activities reposing confidence in his words. AMU wins another legal battle

Allahabad High Court dismissed a writ petition challenging the decision to establish two new centres of Aligarh Muslim University at Malappuram in Kerala and Murshidabad in West Bengal.

The division bench of Allahabad High Court comprising Chief Justice F. I. Rebello and Justice A. P. Sahi held that there was nothing wrong in establishing the centres of the Aligarh Muslim University when the same was duly approved by the President of India in her capacity as the Visitor of the University.

A Public Interest Litigation was filed by Mr. Z. K. Faizan, former President of AMU Students’ Union seeking stay on University’s decision to start its centres at Malappuram and Murshidabad.

Senior Counsels Mr. S. M. A. Kazmi and Ms. Sunita Agrawal representing the University argued that prior to issuance of order sanctioning the new Centres by President of India thorough examination of reports related to the project was made by the authorities and the same cannot be challenged merely on someone’s apprehensions.

Earlier, the Kerala High Court division bench comprising Chief Justice J. Chelameswar and Justice P.N. Ravindran has also rejected the prayer of Mr. Janardhanan for interim relief against the establishment of Aligarh Muslim University centre in Kerala.

AMU Vice Chancellor, Prof. P. K. Abdul Azis has welcomed the decision of Allahabad High Court and said that AMU has won the legal battle.

The Aligarh Muslim University has decided to establish five centres in Malappuram (Kerala), Murshidabad (West Bengal), Kishanganj (Bihar), Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) and Pune (Maharashtra). The Central Government sanctioned Rs. 25 Crore each for the Malappuram and Murshidabad Centres out of which Rs. 25 Crore for

12

Murshidabad Centre and Rs. 10 Crore for Malappuram Centre has already been released. Both the state governments have also allotted land to the Aligarh Muslim University for establishing AMU Centres. AMU has decided to start BALLB and MBA courses at these centres. Workshop on Culinary Terms
