AMU spreads its wings

Original Message from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AMUNetwork/

At the helms in Aligarh for the last 20 months, Dr Abdul Aziz is the first non-Urdu speaking vice chancellor of the University. He spoke to M A Siraj for Deccan Herald recently.

Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is in an expansion mode. Following the presentation of report by the Justice Rajinder Sachar on the socio-economic and educational conditions of Muslims in India, the HRD Ministry has approved a plan by the AMU to set up its extension centres in five cities viz. Bhopal, Pune, Calicut, Katihar and Murshidabad. It has earmarked a sum of Rs 4,000 crore for the new campuses during the 11th five-year plan. AMU is a central university as per its constitution and elects a vice chancellor every five year through its court. The University was so far mainly admitting students from educationally backward states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. But under its new role, it has set up admission centres in Kolkata, Calicut, Bhopal and Pune and will be adding Lucknow and Hyderabad from the 2009 academic session. It was Muslim reformer Sir Syed Ahmed Khan who founded the Muslim Anglo Oriental College in 1878 in Aligarh. Raja Mahendra Pratap was the first student to graduate out of the MAO College. MAO College was upgraded into the Aligarh Muslim University in 1921 and became a central university after Independence. Around one-third of the total 30,000 students are non-Muslims. The University has produced luminaries such as singer Talat Mahmood, film dialogue writer Dr Rahi Masoom Raza, song writer Shaharyar, writer Qurratulain Hyder, Historian Irfan Habib, Geographer Mohammed Shafi and geologist Shamim Jairajpuri. Be a proud member of AMU Aligarh Community on Facebook Click Here. Advent of vice chancellor Dr Abdul Azis, a Keralite raised a few heckles in the academic community. A disciplinarian, Dr Azis has enforced a strict code for teachers to remain on their seats between 8am and 4pm. No condonation for lack of attendance of students too has bruised a few egos. In fact, last year, some goons set aflame the VC's lodge. At the helms in Aligarh for the last 20 months, Dr Aziz is the first non-Urdu speaking vice chancellor of the University. He spoke to M A Siraj for Deccan Herald recently. Excerpts: What do you perceive AMU's standing among academic institutions today to be? AMU enjoys a fairly good standing among the universities in the nation. It is on 9th position among 300 Indian universities in matters of research publications. AMU's engineering college figures on 7th position for funding during 10th Plan by Prof. Joshi and has been recommended for upgradation on par with the IITs. PURSE, a rating of centres for excellence in science and technology, has recognised our engineering college too as a centre of excellence. Our History Department is recognised as the most prestigious centre of excellence in the country since 1968. AMU seems to have developed an ambitious plan to expand beyond its campus. Yes, we will set up five extension centres in Calicut, Pune, Katihar (Bihar), Murshidabad (West Bengal) and Bhopal. Education is looked after by the State Governments while the Muslim educational backwardness is because of deficiency at the primary level. Do you think AMU will be able to make a difference? The AMU, BHU and the Jamia Millia are the only central universities in the country that are allowed to run schools. At least one-third of the students in AMU currently study under eight high schools being run in Aligarh. The model will be replicated in all five extension centres. This will address the issue to some extent. But we may be able to run teachers' training programme for Urdu medium schools at the centres. Be a proud member of AMU Aligarh Community on Facebook Click Here. Any initiative to upgrade the general academic standards and environment of the University? Several measures have been undertaken recently. I have placed an academic rejuvenation agenda to guide 500 doctorates. Under this, 500 theses have to be submitted every year. This year we could produce 320. Classroom attendance has been enhanced to 75 per cent as condition for appearance in exams. Every teacher is being asked to produce at least one research paper. Nearly 1,000 papers have been submitted this year by teachers. 500 teachers will be required to bring research projects each worth Rs 20 lakh every year from overseas. We have signed MoUs with universities like Georgia, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Young Town University. A diploma course is being introduced on Islamic Banking and Finance from next year.

Holy Qur'an

Assalamualaikum,
Check this out,

Very interesting findings of
Dr. Tariq Al Swaidan
might grasp your attention:
Dr.Tarig Al Swaidan discovered some verses in the
Holy Qur'an
That mention one thing is equal to another,
i.e. men are equal to women.
Although this makes sense grammatically,
the astonishing fact is that the number of
times the word man appears in
the Holy Qur'an
is 24 and number of times the word
woman appears is also 24,
therefore not only is this phrase correct in
the grammatical sense but also true mathematically,
i.e. 24 = 24.
Upon further analysis of various verses,

he discovered that this is consistent throughout the whole

Holy Qur'an
where it says one thing is like another.
See below for astonishing result of
the words mentioned number of times in Arabic
Holy Qur'an
Dunia (one name for life) 115.
Aakhirat (one name for the life after this world) 115
Malaika (Angels) 88 . Shayteen (Satan) 88
Life 145 ...... Death 145
Benefit 50 . Corrupt 50
People 50 .. Messengers 50
Eblees (king of devils) 11 . Seek refuge from Eblees 11
Museebah (calamity) 75 . Thanks ! 75
Spending (Sadaqah) 73 . Satisfaction 73
People who are mislead 17 .D Dead people 17
Muslimeen 41 .J Jihad 41
Gold 8 .E Easy life 8
Magic 60 .F Fitnah (dissuasion, misleading) ! 60
Zakat (Taxes Muslims pay to the poor) 32 ....
Barakah (Increasing or blessings of wealth) 32
Mind 49 .N Noor 49
Tongue 25 .S Sermon 25
Desite 8 .F Fear 8
Speaking publicly 18 .P Publicising 18
Hardship 114 .... Patience 114
Muhammed 4 .S Sharee'ah (Muhammed's teachings) 4
Man 24. Woman 24
And amazingly enough have a look how many times
the following words appear:
Salat 5, Month 12, Day 365,
Sea 32, Land 13
Sea + land = 32+13= 45
Sea = 32/45*100q.=71.11111111%
Land = 13/45*100 = 28.88888889%
Sea + land 100.00%
Modern science has only rec! ently proven that the water covers
71.111% of the
earth, while the land covers 28.889%.
Is this a coincidence? Question is that
Who taught Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) all this?
Reply automatically comes in mind that
ALMIGHTY ALLAH
taught him.
This as the
Holy Qur'an
also tells us this.
please pass this on to all your friends
Aayah 87 of Suraa (Chapter) Al-Anbia !
para 17:
LA ILAHA ILA ANTA
SUBHANAKA INI KUNTU MINA ZALIMEEN.
During the next 60 seconds,
stop whatever you are doing,
and take this opportunity.
(Literally, it is only 1 minute).
All you have to do is
The following:

Excellent advise by Dr Sohail Sabir

Dear Aligs ASAk

Whenever there is a good news from Aligarh it is always
accompanied by a cotroversy regarding it. In case JNMC is to be upgraded
upto the standard of AIIMS and ZHCET is to be upgraded upto the standard
of IIT, it is not that these institutions shall become AIIMS & IIT
repectively. The only thing is that we may also be having some of those
facilities which are enjoyed by the students and faculty of these
prestigious institutions. There is no harm if it happens. Although there
appears to be no politics in these decisions of the central government
and even though if there is any what is the harm in accepting them. The
only thing is we have to change our mindset. Older people who have played their innings must leave space for the younger and talented faculty members. They can do wonders if involved in the policy making for the future. Those who are retiring in near future must ensure that
responsibilities are given to those who can deliver. There is no question of paucity of land on the campus. It is hoped that very soon we shall be having a new College of Nursing and also also a College Of Pharmacy on the campus of JNMC. Both of these are the need of the hour. Recently when I was in USA, most of our Alumni were of the opinion that AMU must go for these colleges. Hon'ble Vice Chancellor was also requested to look into the matter and try his best to have these Colleges. I am sure Vice-Chancellor must be working on these projects and soon we shall inshaallah be seeing them taking concrete shape. Every well wisher of this great institution wants to see it prosper in every respect.
