A. Infrastructural Developments & Maintenance:
(i) Institute Building :- The existing Institute building, foundation
stone of which was laid by His Excellency, Colonel, Sir Francis
Stanley Jackson, the Governor of undivided Bengal in 1931, was in
dire need of repairs since no repair works had been carried out by
the PWD for last three decades. This Committee on taking over the
charge vigorously pursued the matter and got the major repair
works done by the PWD of value above Rs. 23 lakh.
(ii) Library :- The Institute’s Library which is a repository of priceless
titles on myriad subjects was in a state of utter neglect but in the
tenure of this Committee it has been fully renovated and
automated. With computerised cataloguing and modern stacking
of books with latest software and air-conditioned environment,
the century old library has got a fresh lease of life.

Through ‘C’ Language, (d) Introducing to ICT Resources,
(e) Multilingual DTP under NCPUL are being run for past several
but when this Committee took the charge number of students
enrolled were very few, due to the reason of poor and inadequate
infrastructure, and computers were not functioning because of
obsolesce. The softwares for the course programmes were not
compatible with the obsolete computers. The Computer Hall was
refurbished and new computers with latest and necessary
softwares were installed.
(iv) Multi-Gym & Cardio-Gym :- Installation of several modern
equipment of physical culture and improvement of environment
culture centre. In the current year a new Cardio-Gym has been
established specially to meet the demands the mid-aged category,
which too has become very popular within a short period.
Contributions from the both the Gym to the financial strength of
the Institute has increased manifold during the tenure of this
Committee.
(v) Billiards & Snooker :- This section of the Institute is one of the
oldest, remained in a state of neglect for past several years. In the
current period the Billiards Hall has been completely renovated
and air-conditioned bringing it at par with the best. The
environment and facilities of this section has been made
conforming to the standard of national requirement. It was an
epoch-making year for the Billiard Section of the Institute. It has
accomplished the honour of organising the season’s first West
Bengal State Ranking Championship Tournament for Billiards &
Snookers in 2017, which was highly appreciated by the entire Cueist
fraternity and the media. The infrastructural renovation in various
sections which was initiated by the present committee has had its
positive impact on the overall activities of the Institute.
(vi) Encroachment-free :- The area around Madrasah Alliah and AIIiah
University campus has been badly encroached, and illegal
encroachment unchecked by the authorities was getting
extended upto the vicinity of the Institute’s premises. But, timely
and swift pre-emptive action taken against the encroachment has
resulted into keeping the adjoining area of the Institute free from
encroachment, and a beautiful patch of greenery has been
developed with portraits of freedom fighters and eminent
historical personalities at the Institute’s entrance.
B. Constitution of the Institute :- The The Muslim institute’s Constitution
was drafted sometime in 1937, and there had been hardly any
amendments made in more than 70 years of its enforcement. The
members of the Institute had almost in all the AGM5 for past several
years had consistently been making\mand for getting a copy or
initiating a process of revisiting the same. This Committee took up the
matter with all its sincerity and proposed a draft amendment, keeping
in view the aspirations of the present-day members of the Institute
and the society at large, nevertheless maintaining the spirit of the
original Constitution and inspirations of the founding members of the
Institute. The draft amended Constitution was unanimously passed
with a few modifications in the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting held
on 23rd November 2014. The Constitution was officially released by the former Acting Chiel Justice of Calcutta High Court, Mr. Nure Alam
Choudhuri.

the financial years under the tenure of this Committee vis-à-vis the
