Naima Khatoon Breaks Glass Ceiling, Becomes First Woman Vice-Chancellor of AMU

• In a historic move, President Droupadi Murmu has appointed Professor Naima Khatoon as the first woman Vice-Chancellor of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), breaking a century-old glass ceiling.
• The appointment, seen as part of the BJP government’s outreach to Muslim women, comes days ahead of the second phase of the Lok Sabha election.
• The Aligarh Muslim Teachers’ Association (AMUTA), which had earlier questioned the selection process, has acknowledged Khatoon’s appointment and expressed hope that she will be fair, transparent, and impartial. The association has pledged to continue its role as a “loyal watchdog” of the institution.
