Our mission is to make a positive difference in the career and lives of Aligarh Muslim University Students and Alumni of AMU.

Kahoo(N) tujh se mai(N) ke kya hai, shab-e-gham buri balaa hai
Mujhe kya bura tha marna agar ek baar hota    (Ghalib)

Apropos your objection regarding ‘washing dirty linens’ you have raised a very fundamental question which pertains to the actual aims and objectives of the alumni networks/group-mails. Whether, these networks exist only to wish hi-hello with each other, or to bring matrimonial columns and job postings. If yes, then no needs to have such networks, individual mail IDs are enough to serve the purpose. So far as job advertisements and matrimonial columns are concerned, they are done in better ways by various newspapers and websites and many more legitimate/credible agencies.

In present era of globalization, every field is characterized by the advancement of professionalism with more emphasis on  planning and competition.  The more dedicated people with professional approach the more ability to coup the challenges of  planning and competition for the survival and advancement. This is also true in term of a movement like Aligarh with broad expect rum aims to engulf the world of Islam and education.

Few people of AMU wish to propose that in order to pay a befitting tribute to Qurratul Ain Haider (died 2007), the great fiction writer of Urdu, one of the residential hostels/Halls should be named after her.

I would like to endorse that proposal with a humble request to all that this should be done sooner, rather than later. Preferably, the hostel/Hall under construction [near the Rail Phatak on way to the new building of the Faculty of Law] should be named after Qurratul Ain Haider.

The AMU is comprehensively debating the idea of having distant campuses in different parts of India . While, the statutory restrictions/ ambiguities still remain to be clarified as to whether the AMU Act mandates us to go for such exercise. Statutory restrictions (if any) apart, this particular idea of the VC to have distant campuses is just extremely laudable.

[One fails to understand as to what has been the basis of identifying particular regions/places to be chosen for establishing the distant campuses of AMU].
