Executive Summary

Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is one of the pioneering Central Universities of India. It has always remained a significant contributor to the socio-cultural, political, scientific and

intellectual discourses of the nation. Writing a summary of the University‘s stature, contribution and contemporary significance is like limiting the unlimited, like writing the

social history of India of the last two centuries in a couple of pages, because the journey of

the Aligarh Muslim University from its establishment as Madarsatul Uloom in 1875 and the

Mahomedan Anglo-Oriental College in 1877 to its upgradation as a University in 1920, till

date encompasses no less than the story of India in pre and post-Independence phase: the

aftermaths of the Mutiny of 1857 and the British Imperialism, the predicament of the Indians,

the clash of civilizations and cultures, the clash between languages and education systems,

the question of medium of instruction and the content for education, colonial educational

policies, the shift from Oriental to the Occidental, the consequential confused state of the

Indians, their backwardness, their prejudices, their shattered faith in values, their traumatized

self-esteem, phases of the Indian Freedom Movement, leading to the Independence and

partition of India, fresh socio-politico economic conditions and perspectives, new education

and language Policies and provisions, establishment of new colleges and universities,

language issues and linguistic riots, three language formula and other recommendations of

Committees and Commissions and many such other aspects.

AMU is the product of the visionary initiatives, untiring efforts, never-faltering commitment, and unfailing dedication of its founder, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. Such an initiative was a representative feature of the nineteenth century that lists Sir Syed Ahmad Khan at par with visionaries and social reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Rabindra Nath Tagore, Keshab Chandra Sen, Raghunath Hari Navalkar, and Mohammad Mohsin who believed that modem education alone could uplift the Indians from the existing phase of poverty, ignorance, traditionalism and other vegetate practices. The major thrust in these initiatives was to impart Western education through the English language rather than depending solely on the Oriental studies. However, Sir Syed believed in reconciling Oriental learning with the Western Literature and Science.

Institutional Vision and Mission:

AMU proudly carries forward the Vision and Mission of its founder, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, who constantly stressed upon the need for secularism, national integration and nation building in his writings and speeches. He founded the University with a monumental mission to construct an institution of holistic learning and knowledge acquisition, where students would be provided with unparalleled perspectives of creativity and critical thinking. A remarkably early testimony of the scientific and cultural signification of the institution is in the form of the two bodies constituted by Sir Syed: The Scientific Society in 1864 in Aligarh to translate Western works into Indian languages as a prelude to prepare the community to accept Western education and to inculcate scientific temperament among the Muslims and a

periodical, ‗Tehzibul Akhlaq‘ in 1870, with an intent to ameliorate the social conditions of Indian Muslims. He envisioned the Institution as connect between the old and the new, the East and the West. While he wholly valued the need and urgency of imparting instruction based on Western learning, he was not oblivious of the value of oriental learning and wanted to preserve for the future generations the rich legacy of the past. This involvement of Sir Syed in empowering the powerless through education has been underlined by Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru in his book The Discovery of India.

As one of its founding principles AMU upholds a missionary order for educating the Muslims in

particular and all those who live on the periphery of the society, in general, irrespective of caste,

creed, religion, region, language, race and gender. Essentially being a seat of learning 1

and social-welfare the University has been a guiding beacon of the people of India during various high and low phases. Among its defining traits the dominant one is the composite

culture that it quintessentially nurtures and exemplifies. The fact that the first graduate of the University was: Ishwari Prasad, a Hindu, is just one point in the case.

AMU was one of the first entirely residential educational institutions on the lines of Oxford

and Cambridge set up either by the government or the public in India. When the Viceroy

Lord Curzon visited the MAO College in 1901, he praised the work which had been achieved

and called it of ―sovereign importance‖.

On visiting the College Sir William Hunter, President of the Education Commission was impressed by its secular spirit and observed:

The Muhammadan founders of the strictly Muhamadan institution have

thrown open their doors to the youth of all races and creeds. Among the 259

students I find 57 Hindus, or nearly a fourth of the whole. Christian and Parsi

lads have also received a liberal education within its walls. This liberality of

mind pervades not only its rules and its teaching, but the whole life of the

place. (Qureshi: 1992: 47)

However, this University has played a pivotal role in strengthening the conditions of Muslims of

the Indian subcontinent, although the Muslim community still needs intensification and

amplification in its efforts to strengthen the socio-economic and educational standards. For this

reason, AMU has been attached with a unique Parliamentary Legislation in the form of ―The

Aligarh Muslim University (Amendment) Act 1981, 5(2)(c)‖ that makes the University

responsible to ―promote especially the educational and cultural advancement of the Muslims of

India‖. Besides, AMU has been recognized as an Institution of National Importance in the

Seventh (7th

) Schedule (Article 246 in the Union List of the Constitution of India). It is under

these provisions, that after the Sachchar Committee Report, the Government of India encouraged

AMU to open its centers in socio-economically and educationally backward Muslim dominated

areas like Mallapuram (Kerala), Murshidabad (Bengal) and Kishanganj (Bihar).

Sir Syed‘s vision of a University was reflected in the Address, read by Syed Mahmoud, on behalf

of the MAO College Fund Committee, at the time of the Laying of the Foundation Stone of

Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College by the Viceroy, Lord Lytton on 8 January 1877:

―… that from the seed which we sow to-day there may spring up a mighty tree whose branches, like those of the banyan tree of the soil, shall in their turn strike from roots into the earth and themselves send forth new and vigorous saplings; that this college may expand into a University whose sons shall go forth through the length and breadth of the land to preach the gospel of free

enquiry, of large-hearted toleration, and of pure morality.‖ (Pioneer, 11th

January 1877)

Sir Syed‘s model of education did not hinge on careerism exclusively. He voiced his views at

the time of Laying of the Foundation Stone of MAO College, where he proclaimed that the

main purpose of this institution is:

―… to educate them (countrymen) …; to dispel those illusory traditions of the

past which have hindered our progress; to remove those prejudices which have

hitherto exercised a beneficial influence on our race; to reconcile Oriental

learning with Western literature and Science; to inspire in the dreamy minds of

the people of the East the practical energy which belongs to those of the West;

As a public testimony to this, Sir Auckland Colvin, the then Lieutenant-Governor of the

2

United Provinces stated in 1892 that:

―To have been an Aligarh man is, I have over and over again found, a passport

to the respect and confidence of both Englishmen and Indians. They carry with

them the stamp of their training, the impress of the mind of the man under

whom that training has been accomplished‖. (AMU Calendar 1932: II)

Sir Syed‘s views on education were later echoed by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan in the Education

Commission of 1948:

―We are building a civilization, not a factory or workshop. The quality of

civilization depends not on the material equipment of civilization or the

political, social machinery but on the character of men. The major task of

education is the improvement of character.‖

Even D.S. Kothari, the Chairman of the Education Commission of 1966, was of the same view:

―while a combination of ignorance with goodness may be futile, that of

knowledge with a lack of essential values may be dangerous‖. The

Commission recommended that the universities should try ―to foster in the

teacher and students and through them in the society generally, the attitudes

and values needed for developing the good life in individuals and society.‖

Alumni:

Sir Syed‘s vision was translated into reality by the alumni. They have time and again

demonstrated the outstanding deliverance of the dreams of the distinguished founder. The

alumni of AMU have been active leaders in almost all walks of life, both in India and abroad.

The University maintains a vibrant Office of the Alumni Affairs, which organizes an Alumni Meet every year. The alumni of the University are available in over 103 countries. These alumni run more than 50 Alumni Associations all over the globe, out of which nineteen (19) are there in the US with a Federation. They help the University by investing their time, talent and treasure by developing infrastructure on the AMU Campus, by providing Scholarships, and facilitating MoUs and Exchange Programmes. Sir Syed Emerging Scholar Award (SSESA), for instance, has so far facilitated over 80 AMU students in getting admissions to the top higher education institutions in the world.

Infrastructure:

The University consists of more than 100 Departments of Studies/Centers/Institutes besides the supporting units like Building Department, Electricity Department, Central Library,

Health Centre, etc., for which Five Year planning process is followed. The University‘s Five Year Plan proposals mainly consist of the infrastructural requirements in terms of growing

needs and changing global education scenario. New buildings, expansion and maintenance of existing buildings, Equipment, Books and Journals, Sports infrastructure, Teaching & Non-

teaching positions, Construction of Roads and augmentation of capacity of Electric Power Stations, Students Amenities and ICT requirements etc. The University has a decentralized

planning process whereby each department as well as non-academic department makes an assessment of its overall requirement at the beginning of each plan.

The plan-execution is based on the allocation of grants by the UGC as per the priorities set out in the

plan proposal viz-a-ziz each faculty‘s requirement for physical infrastructure. Alumni and other

institutions also provide financial support for development of infrastructure from time to time.

Physical Infrastructure especially the availability of adequate class rooms, research

laboratories, departmental libraries, space for teaching and nonteaching staff and student‘s hostel is currently inadequate due to limited plan and non-plan funding. For example, presently there is shortage of 178 Classrooms and 441 Cubical/Chambers in different departments and hostel accommodation for students. Hence the available infrastructure is optimally utilized.

A special feature of the University is its residential character with most of the students residing on the campus attached to 19 Halls (including NRSC) of Residence with 86hostels.

In order to create and enhance infrastructure to promote good teaching and learning environment, the University allocates the major share of plan and non-plan (non salary)

Major Construction works under progress are as follows:

Construction of Hall of residence for 1500 female students at AMU Campus Aligarh having three storied building consisting of G+2 floor amounting to Rs.7500 lacs: The

work is under progress and likely to be completed within 02 to 03 months.

health service international colored dustbins are kept for specific type of waste. There is a huge fully functional incinerator capable of handling 200kg of waste.

As Aligarh is an educational hub, the University is surrounded by schools and colleges. Some of these colleges are run by charitable organization and NGOs. Many Departments in the University pass on the semi-obsolete computers to such institutions who can effectively utilize them for educational purposes. In some instances, photocopying

machines and other office peripherals are replaced under buy-back schemes.

9. Recent Initiatives:

Special efforts have been made to improve upon the quality of education at the Aligarh

Muslim University (AMU). In this regard the decisions and recommendations made in the meetings with the Visitor, Hon‘ble President of India and also with the MHRD have been of great help.

(i) The first step that was taken up by the University was the mandatory accreditation by NAAC. It was only in 2013 that we initiated the preparation based on the guidelines of NAAC and successfully completed the accreditation process in February 2015 with an ‗A‘ Grade (3.35 CGPA out of four-point scale). The process of accreditation helped us in putting many quality issues in order.

(ii) The practice of filling up vacant teaching position was unsystematic and whimsical, which caused major problem of non-availability of teachers. In order to overcome this, General Selection Committees were scheduled and held on a regular basis in a systematic manner. As a consequence, in the last four years, the University has appointed/promoted 249 Professors, 142 Associate Professors, and 460 Assistant Professors.

10

(iii) AMU has already introduced CBCS in all courses, except MBBS and BUMS, which are run according to the norms of its Regulatory bodies like MCI and CCIM, respectively.

(iv) Curriculum was last revised in the session 2014-15 to cater for newly started Choice Based Credit System (CBCS). However, Syllabi are revised on a regular basis at AMU for Minor and Major Changes. Minor revision is done almost every year by teachers through the Board Studies. Likewise, Major revisions are made every two to three years.

(v) Introduction of new/innovative/interdisciplinary programmes/subjects is a regular feature of the University. In the last couple of years, we have introduced Interdisciplinary Nanotechnology Center, Center for Interdisciplinary Biomedical and Human Factors Engineering, Center of Advanced Research in Electrified Transportation, Bridge Course for Madarsa Students, Faculty of International Studies, and Department of Foreign Languages. In addition, the University is planning to introduce compulsory subject of IPR in all courses as per directives of UGC under the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS).

(vi) With the introduction of CBCS at AMU, series of Multi-disciplinary & Skill based Courses have been designed and are being taught as Open Electives in all the Departments/Faculties of Studies.

(vii) New courses introduced in 2015 - 16:

a. M.Sc. (Remote Sensing and GIS Application)

b. Diploma in Computerized Shoe Design & Development c. B.Voc. Degree in Fashion Design & Garment Technology

d. B.Voc. Degree in Production Technology (Tool & Die)

e. B.A. (Hons.) Chinese/French/German/Russian/Spanish

f. B.Voc. Degree in Polymer & Coating Technology

g. Diploma in Dental Mechanics (viii) AMU is moving towards a wholesome e-governance practice. Recently the Pro Vice

Chancellor and the Controller of Examination attended a meeting in MHRD on NAD and the University has initiated steps to engage in NAD. Besides we are in the process of purchasing SAP and its ERPs for complete computerisation of the University.

(ix) Departments of Studies in the University have modernized by providing state-of-art computer labs., PCs for teachers with internet access as well as access to e-resources of the Central library, Smart Classrooms, ICT facilities, Multimedia based instructions, High bandwidth connectivity with Wi-Fi facility, Video Conferencing/ Virtual classroom, Use of biometrics and digital verification methodologies in admission process.

(x) We are in the process of moving to the availability of Mass Online Open Courses (MOOCs).

(xi) Extensive use of web based technologies has been introduced for ease of access to applicants throughout the country and abroad. Online availability and submission of admission forms and the Hall Tickets/admit cards, and Payment Gateway for collection of fee are in use. Computerization and Digitization of students‘ examination registration as well as results have been implemented. Besides, most of the University‘s documents like acts, statutes, ordinances, Minutes of meetings, various proformas, etc., are available online and can be accessed from the University website, www.amu.ac.in.

Give two Best Practices of the institution:

Best Practices 1: Electricity Conservation Initiatives

1. Keeping in view the environmental concerns the university has been trying to reduce

its electricity consumption by using new technologies and creating awareness among the stakeholders.

2. The vapour lamp based street lights on main roads of the university have been

replaced by LED street lights. Due to this replacement the energy consumption on

street lights has reduced by about 75-80%. The project for replacement of

conventional street lights with LED lamps in all the residential colonies of the

university is also under process. 3. The university plans to implement this scheme in all the indoor lightings also. To start

45

this gradual process the Administrative block of the university has been selected and purchase process has been completed for installation of LED fixtures in the

Administrative block. 4. The university has submitted a proposal to the ministry of Renewable Energy

(MNRE) for joining its Green Campus scheme. The objective in the Green Campus

initiative is reduction of dependence on conventional energy sources by up to 25% in the next five years.

5. The MNRE has accepted the proposal and it will provide a grant of Rs. 5 lac to carry

out energy audit in the campus and identify 4-5 projects which may be implemented for energy conservation. Based on the merit of these projects MNRE may fund some

of these activities. 6. Under this scheme the Department of Electricity organized a 'Save Electricity

Awareness Week' during 19-24 Sep 2016. This initiative was organised with the help

of student bodies in the campus. During this week student volunteers, staff of

electricity department visited different halls, offices etc., to create awareness towards

energy conservation. Street plays, march, competitions, invited talks etc. were also

organised at different places in the campus. 7. For the first time a new post in all the residential halls of students has been created

with the title ‗Energy Monitor‘ to help the administration in implementation of energy

conservation measures. 8. For creating awareness towards energy conservation, general notices, circulars, SMS,

E-mails etc. are regularly circulated among the staff and students also on various issues like the optimal setting of temperature for air conditioners, and the benefit of

not using high consumption appliances like filament lamps and heaters etc.

Best Practice 2: Payment of Pensionary Benefits to The Retirees

1. Being the need of the hour, the Aligarh Muslim University started to distribute the cheques of pensionary benefits such as Provident Fund, Gratuity and Commutation of Pension etc. on the first week of retirement of the employees to avoid any financial hardship. This system has been introduced in the University since November, 2012. Prior to implementation of this system of distribution of cheques of pensionary benefits to retirees, inordinate delay was occurred due to which the retirees had to suffer a lot financially as well as physically. In payment of pensionary benefits considerable time was involved.

2. In this regard, in the first week of every month, a programme is organized which is

chaired by the Vice-Chancellor in which the Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Registrar and the Finance Officer also participate. In this programme all the retirees are invited. The Vice- Chancellor personally hands over the cheques and pension orders to all the retirees. An interactive session also takes place in the programme where the retirees share their vast experience of services in the University. This information is very important for further improvement in day to day functioning of different Departments/Offices of the University. This system has removed the problem of delayed payments of pensionary benefits to pensioners.

Contribution to environmental awareness / protection.

Monthly Workshop & Training in Biological Waste Management.

Go green initiatives followed in the campus.

Paperless work culture being adopted to all possible extent. Awareness drive regarding non-use of polythene bags.

Initiative to develop Aligarh a ‗Smart City‘ and how to built sustainable wooden

houses protecting environment.

46

Regular feature by organizing rallies, skits/nukkad nataks, drawing competitions, poster making etc. on the theme of environment protection.

‗Environmental Studies‘ being taught at graduation level.

Hazardous and Solid waste Management in the campus as per guidelines. ―World Earth Day observed‖ on the World Earth Day and number of programs

organized in the university.

Research in decomposition of organic compounds has been taken up. Public meeting with attendant Patients, Madarsa‘s & Schools organized & addressed

to impart ledge as to how environment works towards controlling various diseases

viz. TB & Asthma, etc.

Whether environmental audit was conducted? Yes No

Any other relevant information the institution wishes to add. (for example SWOT Analysis)

1. SWINGS:

A major collaborative research project ―SWINGS-Safeguarding Water Resources in India with Green & Sustainable Technologies‖ has been undertaken with financial assistance from the Department of Science & Technology (DST), GoI and European Union within prestigious Seventh Framework Program that addresses the growing challenge of Wastewater Management and its Safe Reuse in India. The project consortia comprised ten leading institutions from Europe and eight from India, wherein AMU being the lead coordinator. The total outlay of the project was 2.1 Million Euros.

The project was aimed to develop and deploy cost-effective, easy-to-implement and sustainable technologies for municipal wastewater treatment to the level of potable purpose while adopting ―toilet to tap‘ approach mainly involving natural treatment process called as ―Constructed Wetlands‖. The ultimate aim is to get ready to face the serious improve the water

quality and exploitation of results to replicate the novel technology at other places in India. SWINGS at AMU has established technologies that can save maximum energy, produce high methane and less sludge production in the treatment of waste water, its management and reuse. The integration of multiple systems involving anaerobic digestion and constructed wetlands with

solar powered anodic oxidation and UV disinfection systems has resulted in the treatment of black water (sewage) that can produce treated water with almost domestic water quality standards with minimum power usage and operational cost. The systems built are based on Constructed

Wetlands (CW) technology using French Type, Horizontal and Vertical flows (HF & VF),

Anaerobic Digestion using UASB and solar driven Anodic Oxidation (AO) and UV disinfection units proved to be highly successful in treating significant quantities of wastewater for use in agriculture, fish rearing, reuse in toilet flushing etc.

SWINGS have attracted many major agencies like Government of India for implementation in major programmes like Ganga Clean-up Mission, Ramganga Conservation Project, educational institutions, hilly terrains, and conversion of existing Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) based on stabilization ponds /UASB‘s polishing ponds into Constructed Wetlands. The Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) and Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR, RD & GR) through National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) under their initiative have entrusted a task to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) to AMU to manage water supply, sanitation, solid and liquid wastes, drainage, and overall landscape in and around five villages situated along the banks of river Ganga to develop these villages as a model named as ―Ganga Gram‖. The wastewater treatment technologies deployed / developed under SWINGS at AMU would be exploited in these villages under this initiative of MHRD-MoWR.

2. Green Energy Resource at AMU:

The Aligarh Muslim University is a large residential campus with a sanctioned load of

8500kVA for the main campus and 650kW for the new campus. The present annual

electricity consumption of the university is about 2.6 Crore units of electricity which

results into about Rs. 25 Crore paid as electricity charges every year. The high

amount of electricity bill consumes a major part of the non-plan grant and leaves very

little margin for real academic development works.

In view of this and keeping in line with the policy of Hon‘ble Prime Minister of

promoting Green energy resources, the university is working on the installation of a

3MW ground- mounted, solar power plant in the campus on an unutilized barren land.

Based on the simulation studies, the proposed plant is expected to generate about 45

lac units of electricity per year with a payback period of about 6-7 years. It will be a

major step towards making the university a Green campus, and it will also relieve the

state power grid from a significant share of load during day time.

The university has identified the developer through competitive bidding process. It is

expected that the work will start in the month of October and the plant will be

commissioned in about 6-7 months‘ time.

Initially the power generated from the solar plant will be used only for captive consumption. However, the university would like to feed the power generated from the Plant into the State Power Grid on Net-Metering basis. For this purpose, application has been submitted for required modifications In the Rooftop Solar PV Grid Interactive Systems Gross / Net Metering Regulations, 2015 of Uttar Pradesh

Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC), notified on March 20th

, 2015.

To augment the solar power capacity the university has in principle accepted the

proposal of installation of Roof Top Solar Power Plant under the Solar Energy

Corporation of India (SECI)/ CPWD scheme. Under this scheme the developer,

identified by SECI will install and maintain the solar plant on various roofs in the

university. The university will purchase the electricity from the developer at a fixed

rate of Rs. 5.97/unit for first 3 years and @ Rs. 6.10/Unit for remaining 22 years. The

university plans to install about 1.5 MW of roof top solar under this scheme.

3. Bridge Course for Madarsa Students:

According to a study conducted by an independent social scientist, Dr. Zaki

Kirmani,The Bridge course, initiated by Aligarh Muslim University, encourages graduates

of Islamic seminaries in the country to join the mainstream secular education system. Prof.

Rashid Shaz, Director of the Bridge Course at the Aligarh Muslim University was invited to

address the prestigious UNESCO International Conference on the Prevention of Violent

Extremism through Education: Taking Action at New Delhi.

This unique initiative, The Bridge Course, seeks to bring the educationally and socially

marginalized sections of one of the largest minorities in India into mainstream. The program,

a brainchild of the Vice Chancellor of the Aligarh Muslim University, Lt. Gen. (Retd.)

Zameer Uddin Shah, is designed in accordance with the international norms for social

inclusion and development. It aims to create opportunities for the Madarsa graduates for

pursuing higher studies in the mainstream educational landscape such as universities and

colleges of higher education. Every year, more than 300,000 students pass out from various

Madrasas across the country.

It has been now three years since the Aligarh Muslim University first launched the Bridge

48

Course to address the need for bringing madrasa students into the mainstream education

system. The three batches which have passed out so far from this course have given very

encouraging results. In 2013, the university had started a unique experiment by initiating a

one year course for the madrasa graduates. The first batch of students consisted of forty-four

students from different madaris belonging to different sects. After attending the rigorous

program of one year at the Bridge Course, those young students not only passed the exam but

qualified for several courses such as BA (Hons.) in English, Economics, Political Science and

Law under the open category. The second batch consisted of fifty-three students and again

gave 100% successful results. Subsequently, the intake was increased to 100 students in the

third batch in 2015-16. The remarkable thing about the course is that it provides ample

opportunity for the girl students from madrasa background to get ahead. In this batch, there

were 28 girls among the students.

Recognition by the Ministry of Minority Affairs, Government of India:

The Bridge Course for the Graduates of Deeni Madaris at the Aligarh Muslim University,

supported by the Maulana Azad Educational Foundation (MAEF) under the Nai Manzil

Scheme, has become a role model for other institutions. In 2015-16, the MAEF, Ministry of

Minority Affairs, Govt. of India, sanctioned a substantial amount for the development of the

course under their Nai Manzil Scheme for the minorities.

8. Plans of institution for next year: Ensure path breaking research in Nano Technology, waste water management

and solar energy.

Construction of chambers and laboratories for teachers.

Ensure construction of new hostels for students.

Elimination of lawlessness and action against medical staff indulging in private practice.

Start production of Unani medicine in new dawakhana.
