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.

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.
