The Aligarh Muslim University is a residential academic institution which was established in 1920.Sir Syed Ahmad Khan,a great reformist of his age,who felt the need of modern education for Muslims,started a school swayback in 1875 which later became a college under the title of "Mohammedan Anglo Oriental College" and ultimately became a university.This is a premier university comes under central government. The President of India appoints the Vice Chancellor.It has several faculties and maintained institutions.It draws students from all over the country as well from foreign countries.Aligarh is situated at a distance of 130 Km.,South East of Delhi on Delhi-Calcutta Railway and Grand Trunk Road route.The latitude is 27 degree 54 minute North and longitude is 78 degree 5 minute East.The climate is hot and dry in summer (mid-February to mid June) and cool and dry in winter (mid October to mid February) with an intervening rainy season. The university campus is 3 km away from the main city.Sir Syed created an institution which,first as M.A.O. College and then since 1920 as Aligarh Muslim University (AMU),became the generator of an amazing range of talent. I came,I saw and I was conquered is the most likely feeling of almost every person who has had occasion to visit the AMU. Aligarh's "culture of decency" has a compelling appeal. You can have a negative view of Aligarh when you have not been there but you cannot when you have known it. A number of distinguished former students of M.A.O. College guided the national struggle as national leaders and made tremendous sacrifices.A number of them occupied most important offices which included the president ship,governorship and chief minister-ship
