Dear Reader As we all aware that amu is the prestigious institution and the popularity of amu we here through out of the world. The main aim for the formation of this institution is not only to upgrade the educational status of the society but also to improve the cultural and moral value of the society. Completing it 100 year of formation it got reputation and prove its importance in every field . Now the latest report of government shows the glory of research work of A.M.U.The ministry of H.R .D gave the 8th position among the Indian university due to its research work. But it is very sad that some culprits(Rayaan Gani) who have no any relation with AMU are busy in defaming the reputation the great institution, its research work ,its faculty members and the researchers . Before blaming any thing person or institution one should think about the facts. It don’t know the Rayaan Gani ,He address himself as the alumni of the DRTC in Bangalore .I only ask himself that is any proof regarding your posting .The amu is only institution throughout the world which not only provide educational qualification but also the moral and cultural value. So I suggest dear raiyaan if you have time then please come to amu and learn some moral value which you have need .I think that you are library professional then it is very sad that library profession is a unique profession who provide the information to the user .I have many friends from this profession and also know the teachers from this profession.I again suggest if you have time please come and learn some moral value from amu which you have lack. I hope you understand this and careful in future . Thanks Your s Ahad Khan amu aligarh -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
