The AMU Vice Chancellor, Prof. P.K. Abdul Azis, on the invitation of Kishanganj District Magistrate, has visited the town and inspected the three land areas identified by the Bihar Government.
While addressing the media AMU Vice Chancellor, Prof. P. K. Abdul Azis said, “It is our firm commitment to take up the cause of AMU Kishanganj Centre on a fast track basis. The AMU wishes to introduce its programmes in current academic session provided the land is acquired and transferred to the University within three months’ period of time.

The Kishanganj District Collector, Mr. Sandeep Kumar who accompanied the visiting team to the three identified plots, promised all help and said that he was going to initiate the process of land acquisition on a priority basis.
After preliminary evaluation, the team has short listed few options. The first option which the team considered most suitable for the AMU Centre was the three-pieces land at Chakla village offered to AMU earlier.
The University has expressed its desire to take over this piece of land contiguous in one piece starting from Plot No. 1 (lying beside the state highway). The second option preferred by the University is the Dhanpura land and the third option was Tarabari land.
“The University is open to any other option which the state government has to offer. We need 250 acres of contiguous land without any encumbrances and the land should also be securely bound,” added the VC.
