This Blog is dedicated to the educational institution which was started by Sir Sayyad Ahmed Khan as a college called Muhammadan Anglo Oriental (M.A.O.) College. This college which was started in 1885 went to become a University in 1920. Since then, it is known as “Aligarh Muslim University“. This university is also known as “Chaman-e Sir Sayyad” since he was the one who sowed the seeds and watered the plants of this chaman (garden).
