Barely a month after he took over Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Vice Chancellor Lt Gen Zameer Uddin Shah (retired) has put in place plans to modernise campus infrastructure. In a meeting with the HRD ministry recently, Shah asked for additional funds to augment capacity of the university’s kitchens, hospital and an additional hostel for foreign students. Shah also pointed out that the AMU hospital was functioning at a paltry Rs 2.1 crore a year. Large hospitals like AIIMS get funding to the tune of Rs 1124 crore a year. “We have asked for Rs 12 crore to improve facilities at the hospital,” Shah said. AMU’s new VC also has plans to modernise the university kitchens along the lines of army kitchens with modern equipment for which Rs 38 lakh have been sanctioned by the HRD ministry.
