OUR GOALS
Girls Education Projects
AMUAA-GC firmly believes in the transformative power of educating girls, recognizing its profound impact across generations.
Education stands as a cornerstone in societal advancement. Beginning with primary and secondary education, it ignites curiosity and cultivates a thirst for knowledge in children. Education empowers them to shape a brighter future, whether as leaders, doctors, engineers, scientists, lawyers, bankers, teachers, or in any other profession they aspire to pursue.
The significance of a mother's education cannot be overstated in nurturing children. As the primary educator in a child's life, a mother equipped with education gains essential tools and insights necessary for effective child-rearing. Hence, investing in the education of girls, who are the mothers of tomorrow, holds paramount importance.
AMUAA-GC is dedicated to championing girls' education projects and providing support to deserving students in India. We invite you to explore our Projects page to discover more about our completed and ongoing initiatives.
Cultural and Social Programs
AMUAA-GC hosts a variety of cultural and social events, including the Sir Syed Day Celebration and Mushaira, with the aim of fostering social and cultural awareness within the community.
These events serve as platforms to educate the community on important issues and traditions while also raising funds to offer financial assistance to students in need. Through our cultural and social engagements, we strive to create a sense of unity and support while advancing the cause of education.
Join us in celebrating our rich heritage and contributing to the betterment of society through these meaningful events.
Distant Mentorship Program
This program is designed to empower AMU students to thrive in their professional endeavors. Regular lectures and presentations are conducted at AMU to inspire students and guide them on pathways to pursue higher education opportunities in the United States and Europe.
In addition, AMUAA-GC extends financial support to the Sir Syed Emerging Scholar Award (SESSA) program. SESSA operates as a mentorship and financial assistance initiative, aiding students in covering the costs associated with GRE & TOEFL tests and university application fees. Moreover, SESSA offers invaluable mentorship throughout the entire process, from the initial stages to successfully securing admission into graduate programs for the attainment of Masters and PhD degrees.
Through these efforts, AMUAA-GC is committed to nurturing the academic and professional growth of AMU students, enabling them to realize their full potential and excel in their chosen fields.
