We see our future in AMU Malegaon: Write hundreds of students to VC

Sunday September 25, 2011 06:22:05 PM, ummid.com Staff Reporter

Malegaon: Even as the AMU officials are busy giving the final shape to the team of experts which will visit Malegaon to inspect the land identified for the AMU off campus centre, hundreds of students, mostly girls, have written letters to the Vice Chancellor appealing him to speed up the process.

“Sir, like girls in other parts of the country, we also wish to go for higher education. But, since we don’t have any such opportunity here in Malegaon our dreams may shatter. Please note that hundreds of students are forced to drop out every year as they do not have access to higher education in Malegaon and cannot afford to go to big metros for further education”, the students wrote in their letters.

“In Aligarh Muslim University’s off-campus centre here in Malegaon”, they wrote “We can see our dream of higher education coming true. Hence, we the students of Malegaon, request you to take an early and positive decision on Malegaon’s proposal so that the AMU off-campus centre in this Muslim-dominated but educationally backward town becomes a reality.”

As part of the campaign started September 18, 2011 by Noble Education & Welfare Society (NEWS) to mobilise support for AMU Malegaon, more than 550 students have so far posted the letters to the Vice Chancellor, Prof PK Abdul Azis. The number is growing with every passing day.

“While over 200 letters posted on September 19 must have reached Aligarh by now, others are on their way”, said Aleem Faizee, chairman of Noble Education & Welfare Society (NEWS).

Earlier, Nashik MP Samir Bhujbal had also written a letter to the Vice Chancellor assuring him of all support for the proposed centre and requested him to send the team for inspection so that the centre begins taking shape without further delay. Samir Bhujbal looks after the development work in the region on behalf of Dy Chief Minister of Maharashtra State and Guardian Minister of Nashik district Chagan Bhujbal.

Meanwhile, District Collector P Velrasu while talking to ummid.com reiterated his support and cooperation for the proposed centre.
“We are fully aware of the importance of this project and hence are committed to providing all supports”, he said.

A Masjid and Mandir stand side by side in Malegaon. Though the town is regarded as communally sensitive place and has actually gone through a series of riots and terrorist attacks, people here are known for living together, and in peace and harmony since hundreds of years. The picture is taken during the Dassehra Festival that ended October 17. Every year the Mandir is illuminated and decorated with lights and special Pujas are held even as Muslims pray in the Madjid almost simultaenously.
