Meerut: The National Commission for Women (NCW) has written to Aligarh Muslim University about alleged discrimination against girls in the university, asking for an explanation.

Last week The Hindu had reported that some professional UG courses apart, women were barred from enrolling in undergraduate courses in the main campus of AMU. Instead, they went to the Women’s college, which has very limited resources

Chairperson’s letter

In a letter to the AMU Vice-Chancellor, Lt. Gn. (retd.) Zameer Uddin Shah, NCW chairperson Lalitha Kumaramangalam condemned “such form of gender bias in access to educational opportunities.” “The National Commission for Women is deeply perturbed by the report that appeared in The Hindu, dated May 9, titled ‘AMU charged with bias’,” she said.

‘Against Constitution’

Ms. Kumaramangalam’s letter said the “ban” against girls from taking admission in UG courses as a “clear case of gender discrimination” and is against the spirit of the Constitution .

“AMU’s prejudiced educational policy is in sharp contradiction to the National Policy on Education, 1986 which envisaged … that in order to neutralise the accumulated distortions of the past, there will be a well-conceived edge in favour of women,” said the letter.
