proceeding to AMU Murshidabad Special Centre. Prof. Azis handed over
all the documents relating to the AMU Murshidabad Special Centre to
the Officer on Special Duty, Prof. M. M. Ashhar.
Addressing the gathering of University officials Prof. Azis said
that it is another milestone in the way to broaden the arena of Sir
Syed’s dream and expand the great legacy of AMU to spread modern
education throughout the country. The overwhelming response the
University is receiving from different states of the country bears
testimony to the fact that AMU credentials as a secular and modern
education is well recognized across the nation. The passion and
reverence with which the AMU team was received and welcomed at
Malappuram, Murshidabad and Kishanganj shows that the initiative has
ignited the hopes and aspirations of the people of the region
irrespective of cast, creed and religion.
Prof. Azis urged the OSD, Prof. M. M. Ashhar and his team comprising
Assistant Controller, Mr. Seraj Ahmad Qadri and Section Officer of
General Section Mr. M. Mubeen Khan to work with a sense of diligence
and dedication in carrying forward the great legacy of Sir Syed in
the heartland of Murshidabad.
Prof Azis said that the West Bengal
Government has made headway in this direction and deposited the
required amount in the Water Resource Ministry, Government of India
so that the Farakka Barrage land is transferred to AMU soon to
enable it set up its Murshidabad Regional Centre.
In order to fulfill its commitment the
proposal of starting MBA and BALLB programmes as an initial step was
placed before the Academic Council on June 9, 2010 which was
unanimously approved. The President of India in her capacity as the
Visitor of AMU has already approved the West Bengal and Malappuram
centres under Statutes 12(2) and the Government of India has also
allocated Rs. Rs. 25 Crore and released the same for the Murshidabad
Centre.
The University has already engaged the
services of Educational Consultancy India Ltd. (EDCIL) for preparing
Detailed Project Report. It is also under the process of wider
consultations both outside and within the campus to set in motion a
foolproof strategy for establishing world class state-of-the-art
education facilities including a legal framework that protect the
stated objectives of the University.
The efforts are in the anvil to lay a
blueprint for establishment of a highly vibrant and modern centre of
higher learning. To meet this end the University is sending Prof. M.
M. Ashhar, Department of Civil Engineering as Officer on Special
Duty (Administration) at Murshidabad Special Centre. He will be
exercising general supervision and control over the affairs of the
Centre and work under the directive of the Vice Chancellor.
Prof. Ashhar, while accepting the
responsibility, said that he will not let any stone unturned in
accomplishing the job to put the Murshidabad centre at work. He said
that he was aware of the great responsibility he has been entrusted
with.
The visiting team will stay in the
vicinity of the proposed site at Murshidabad to accelerate the pace
of evolving the centre into an educational hub of substance.
The OSD and his team will be reaching
Murshidabad today and hence a great step forward towards making
qualitative education available at a region in West Bengal where it
is needed most.
