For the first time in the history of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), a women has been elected to the executive council of the AMUTA (Aligarh Muslim University Teachers Association).
Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has elected S Chandni Bi, assistant professor of history, to the executive council of the AMUTA (Aligarh Muslim University Teachers Association).

I would say the university is evolving and gradually responding to changing demands and perceptions. The AMU teachers association is an important body and can effect significant changes," said Chandni Bi.
