Dear Students, Faculty Members, and Aligs,
It is indeed a great honor for me to be appointed as Vice-Chancellor of this prestigious institution.
Aligarh Muslim University has a glorious past and has been a pioneer in the context of education, social reform, and empowerment. Our visionary founder Sir Syed Ahmed Khan envisioned imparting modern education in society.
Our University has always been open to all students irrespective of cultural background. AMU is just like a melting pot where diverse cultures, languages, and traditions merge to evolve a unique ‘Alig’ identity. The residential campus gives it a unique campus with students from all parts of the country and even abroad reflecting the rich cultural tapestry residing with harmony in various halls. AMU has reformed the lives of millions who are now leading a successful life contributing towards the progress of society and the nation. Our commitment to imparting quality education and social empowerment has remained an integral part of our ethos. There have been tough times but with the support of everyone we have been able to navigate through the daunting challenges.
Over the years, AMU has created a niche and has established itself as a premier institution valued for its teaching, research, and innovation. All this has been possible with the support of our esteemed Faculty Members who have made significant contributions in various fields. They have been instrumental in guiding the students with impeccable academic support and also guiding them in all fields.
We have to embrace and be ready for the future where technology will play a prominent role. There are new modes of learning, online resources, and virtual classrooms and the willingness to adapt to these changes will be instrumental in shaping the future of our students. The Faculty members are always open to extending a helping hand in guiding the student fraternity.
The Alig fraternity across the globe also needs appreciation for upholding the traditions of AMU and setting an example in their respective fields.
I assure you that with the support of everyone, we will learn valuable lessons and have an enriching experience with newfound strength which will be everlasting.
Lastly, we are proud of AMU, and we believe in upholding the virtues of tolerance and inclusivity.
Wishing you all the best in your academic journey,
Warm Regards,
(Prof. Naima Khatoon)
