AMU allocates Rs.1 crore each for Kerala and WB centres | ummid.com

The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has allocated Rs.1 crore each for the purchase of management and law books at its Malappuram and Murshidabad centres.

AMU Vice-Chancellor P.K. Abdul Azis asked directors of both centres to proceed with the purchase of books.

The university has also authorised Deans of law and management faculties to appoint teachers for short period.

Prof. Azis said that under special powers vested with the Deans, they could appoint faculty on temporary basis for a period of one month.

AMU centres at Malappuram in Kerala and Murshidabad in West Bengal are part of AMU VC's ambitious plan to open such centres in five different states of the country. The other three centres are Kishanganj in Bihar, Malegaon in Maharashtra and Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh.

AMU officials plan these centres to be converted into full fledged universities by 2020 when the AMU is slated to complete 100 years of establishment.
