HISTORY OF NRSC CLUB

MAO College Day Scholars' Club
MAO College Day Scholars' Club was established in 1910 under the patronage of Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk, when he was secretary of MAO College from December 1907 to July 1912. The opening ceremony of the ‘Day Scholar's Club’ was carried out on August 6, 1911 in a rented building at Mohalla Aatishbazan, Upper Fort (Bala-e Qila). Later, the Club was shifted to another rented site of the university at Danpur Compound, Rasal Ganj, Aligarh.
Abdul Majid Khawaja (1885-1962) became its Founder-President. Professor S. M. Shafi of Commerce was Patron of Day Scholar's Club from 1931 to 1942 and then from 1948 to 1956.
Intermediate Day Scholars' Union
Intermediate Day Scholar' Union of ‘Muslim University Intermediate College’ came into existence in 1920. This Union was continuing succession of MAO College Day Scholars' Club when MAO College was upgraded to Muslim University. This exclusive Union had its own elected team of day-scholars.
In 1932, the Intermediate College was abolished in accordance with the recommendation of the 'Rahmatullah Committee'. Hence the Intermediate Day Scholars' Union of Intermediate College was also dissolved. However, intermediate classes continued in the University.
Intermediate Students' Society (ISS)
A separate society for intermediate classes of Aligarh Muslim University namely "Intermediate Students' Society (ISS)" later on came into existence. This ISS had no relation with Day Scholars' Club. ISS was later on merged with AMU Students' Union in an around 1956.
[edit]Muslim University Day Scholars' Union
After 1932, Intermediate Day Scholars' Union was renamed as Muslim University Day Scholars' Union
Non-Resident Student' Center (NRSC)
In 1943, Muslim University Day Scholars' Union was again rechristened as Non-Resident Student' Center (NRSC). Students of this NRSC Attached Borders Club were enrolled in different residential halls like Sir Syed Hall, Aftab Hall, etc.
An exclusive NRSC Provost Office came into existence at the end of 1956 under the Proctorship of Professor Satish Chandra. This newly created office at Arnold House was given a status of a hall like any other residential Hall. Prof. Satish Chandra was thus the first provost of NRSC and remained both Procter and provost till 1958.
