In a major policy decision, the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) on Monday decided to establish study centres in Muslim-dominated areas of the country. The decision was taken at a meeting of the university court, the highest governing body. These study centres would be full-fledged institutes managed by the parent institution, a varsity spokesman said. According to the AMU constitution there is no provision for granting affiliation to the university and so the institution will approach the human resources ministry for "working out technical legalities of these radical steps", the spokesman said.
The annual meeting of the AMU court, which was presided over by Chancellor Justice A M Ahmadi, former CJI, also resolved to expand the institution's educational programmes in line with recommendations of the Sachar Committee report.
