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

A year after a few incidents of murder in Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) forced its closure for two months and shocked the country, the varsity is set to take a major step towards enhancing security on the campus. Over 80 CCTV cameras, 300 plus security personnel and a plethora of security equipment would man one of the oldest universities in India by year-end. The university is now looking for a special Security Advisor as well and is approaching retired IPS officers for the job.

"After the horrific murders on the campus and damaging of university property, it was decided that a good security system was needed to keep things peaceful and in tune with an academic environment at the university. Tenders have been invited for purchase of security equipment, including CCTVs, for the campus and by month-end or so the high-powered security committee will take a decision as to which agency should implement the security plan. I would also like to clarify that contrary to all rumour mongering, there will be no police on the campus at all unless situation so demands," said AMU's Vice-Chancellor P K Abdul Azis.

The security plan, claim varsity officials, has the sanction of the HRD Ministry that has approved Rs 10 crore towards the same for a period of five years.

"We are hopeful that in a year or two our proctorial staff will also be well trained by private security agencies and will be equipped to ensure peace on the campus," added Azis.
