Brief introduction of University and Faculty of Agricultural Sciences with mandate

Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is a public central university located in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India, Established in 1875 by the social reformer, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. He realized the acute need among Indians for modern education and, to achieve, his goal, started a college under the title “Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College” (MAO College). Later the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College became Aligarh Muslim University by Aligarh Muslim University Act in 1920. It is one of the first institutions established during the British Raj, which was later established.

Spread over 467.6 hectare in the city of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, Aligarh Muslim University is a residential academic institution offering more than 300 courses in the traditional and modern branches of education. It has almost 30,000 students, about 1,400 faculty members and some 6000 non-teaching staff on its rolls with about 102 departments, 5 institutions and 13 center’s under 13 faculties.

In addition to Agricultural Sciences, it has the faculties of Arts, Commerce, Engineering and Technology, Medicine, Unani Medicine, Law, Science, Life Sciences, Social Sciences, Management and Technology. Being the largest Residential University of the country it has 19 halls of residence with 80 hostels. The medium of instruction is primarily English. The University draws students from all corners of the country as well as from foreign countries especially Africa, West Asia and South-East Asia. In some courses, seats are reserved for students from SAARC and Common Wealth Countries.

The University maintains interdepartmental research center’s such as Interdisciplinary Unit of Biotechnology, Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Diabetes, Interdisciplinary center for Nanotechnolgy, UGC Academic Staff College, Centre of West Asian Studies, Centre for Women’s Studies, Centre for Nehru Studies, and Centre for Continuing and Adult Education.

The MA library of the University performs the functions as a national library, so far as its collection of oriental manuscripts is concerned. It is for these rich collections of immense research value that the library is reckoned among the major libraries of the World. The oldest manuscript owned by the Library is more that 1,400 years old. The library provides the campus-wide access to online journals through a well- equipped computer lab. Digital resources on many subjects are made accessible through a Digital Resource Centre, where free e-resources are tapped for the benefit of the university community. Aligarh Muslim
