Saturday September 17, 2011 11:36:42 PM, ummid.com Staff Reporter

Malegaon: In an important development for the establishment of AMU off campus centre in Malegaon, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has decided to send a team to inspect the land identified for the purpose. The decision followed Nashik MP Samir Bhujbal's assurance given to the VC extending all support to the proposed centre.

"Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Vice Chancellor office has confirmed that the university administration has agreed to send a team of experts to inspect the 300 acres of land near Malegaon identified for the establishment of AMU off-campus centre", Aleem Faizee, Chairman of Noble Education & Welfare Society said while talking to ummid.com.

"The Vice Chancellor will be calling a meeting within a week and will decide on the final schedule of the visit", he added.

Earlier, Nashik MP Samir Bhujbal had written a letter to the Vice Chancellor Prof PK Abdul Azis assuring him of all the needed support for the proposed centre.

"We, along with the Nashik district Collector P Velrasu, had a meeting with Mr Bhujbal on September 10, last Saturday in Nashik to discuss the progress of this project. Consequently, Mr Bhujbal wrote a letter to the Vice Chancellor on the same day and extended all the needed support for the proposed centre", said Aleem Faizee.

"Mr Bhujbal in his letter also promised the Vice Chancellor to look into other issues if any and requested him to send his team for inspection so that the project takes a shape without further delay", he added.

Responding to the AMU VC's request to the Maharashtra government to provide land for the establishment of the AMU off campus centre in the state, Nashik district administration in association with Noble Education & Welfare Society (NEWS) of Malegaon, had submitted to the government on January 24, 2011 the details of the land near Malegaon identified for the purpose. Consequently, the concerned department of the state government in the month of April forwarded these documents to the AMU VC for his decision.

The establishment of AMU off campus centre in Malegaon will be the third in the country. The other two centers are Murshidabad in West Bengal and Malappuram in Kerala.

Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, the other two states in the list of the AMU, are still to decide on the land. While Bihar has shown some progress in identifying the land, BJP ruled Madhya Pradesh has so far not taken any initiative in this regard.
