Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) buried a time capsule to mark the completion of 100 years of the institution on Republic Day.
The time capsule contains documents that carry the history of the 100-year journey of the institution. The documents include a brief of all convocations, the original AMU Act of 1920 and the book Sir Syed Album by noted historian Professor Khaliq Ahmed Niami. During an online function, AMU Vice-Chancellor Professor Tariq Mansoor said this is a historic occasion since preservation of historical documents are of critical importance for the benefit of future generations. Quoting noted Spanish philosopher George Santayana, Professor Mansoor said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
The steel capsule which weighs 1.5 tonnes was buried at a depth of 30 feet in front of Victoria Gate, the iconic structure.
