Website Launch
On 17 October 2021, the Proctor and Public relations officer re-launched the AMU Journal website. While launching the website, AMU Proctor prof Mohd Wasim Ali said the AMU Journal would be used to counter misinformation about AMU.[2] AMU has long been a target of fake news propaganda, such as the claim that AMU students are forced to fast during Ramadan. In reality, the university's mess remained closed in the afternoon during Ramadan due to low demand for lunch. However, the allegation that this was done to force non-Muslims to fast was a misleading post-truth narrative.[4]
Newsletter
The AMU Journal launched a Monthly Newsletter in Streachy Hall on the occasion of the 206th birth anniversary of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan on 17 October 2023.[5][6]
