Aligarh:
Sir Syed Day will be celebrated with traditional zeal
on October 17, 2010 at the Aligarh Muslim University. It was
decided in a consultative meeting with the Provosts, Deans of
faculties, Principals of the colleges and Member-in-Charges. The
meeting was presided over by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. P.K. Abdul
Azis.
Everybody present in the meeting unanimously agreed that Sir Syed
Day should be organized in an appropriate manner. All the provosts
reported that the students are in favour of celebration of Sir
Syed Day with traditional fervor.
The consultative meeting also resolved that Sir Syed Dinner will
be arranged in every Hall of residence in a traditional style and
the food will be served in the Dining Halls. Only bonafide
students will be allowed to join the dinner and the public
meeting, proposed to be organized by various halls of residence.
It was decided that senior teachers of the University, eminent
former teachers and literary and cultural figures be invited as
the chief guest depending on their availability. The meeting urged
the provosts to take extreme care so that uninvited people do not
enter the gate during S. S. Day celebrations.
The meeting viewed with concern that some students involved in
dharna have threatened that they would not allow Sir Syed Day on
the campus. The meeting appealed to the students to refrain from
such stand and enable the Sir Syed Day, a unique occasion to pay
homage to the founder.
The Sir Syed Day commemoration meeting will be held at Kennedy
Hall Auditorium in a befitting manner.
Sine the meeting of the Jury could not be conducted, the Sir Syed
Ahmad Khan International Award-2010 would be declared later and
the award will be given to the recipient in an appropriate
function.
