It fosters personal and social growth and encourages its members to be active and responsible citizens and offer gender equality and diversity. 


Background and Philosophy

Spearheaded by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in the 19th Century, the social awakening of modern education for the community became the Aligarh Movement and played a significant role in the making of the new India. The Muslim Education Conference founded by Sir Syed and its sister bodies like those conceived and patronized by Sultan Jahan Begum were such integrationist initiatives that envisage Aligarh as the nerve centre for such broadening of horizons. The proposed AMU Womens Club is an extension to of the same mandate towards unfurling an accessible platform for channeling and encouraging the creative and positive energies of the women fold of the Aligarh Muslim University contributing the larger social and cultural advancement of the community.
