Bihar offers land for AMU centre

Aligarh: The Bihar government has offered 250 acres of contiguous land
for an Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) centre, becoming the fourth
such state after Kerala, West Bengal and Maharashtra.

The Bihar government has identified the land in Kishanganj district,
along the highway to Bahadurganj.

A team led by AMU Vice Chancellor P.K. Abdul Azis will soon visit
Kishanganj to select a suitable site and discuss other relevant issues
with the district officers.

According to Aziz, Maharashtra has also decided to establish an AMU
centre in the state.

The AMU centres in Murshidabad in West Bengal and Malappuram in Kerala
have already become functional. IANS
