Non-Resident Student' Center (NRSC) was established in 1910 under the patronage of Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk, when he was secretary of MAO College.
Non-Resident Student' Center (NRSC) is a century old club for students’ recreational activities at Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Resident_Students'_Centre
Aligarh Muslim University is, in core spirit, a residential university since its establishment as MAO College, but when the number of day-scholars (Day pupil) was raised substantially, a need was fel
t to start a separate club for their own activities. Realizing that day-scholars have to cover a distance of at least 2–6 miles to attend classes and once back to their home, it is hardly possible to reach the university campus again to avail library and other recreational extra-curricular activities.
'Non-Resident Students' Center has a club like atmosphere. It has been running two clubs - one in the city area (NRSC 'B') since 1910 and the other in civil lines area since July 14, 1944 (NRSC A) for all non resident students. The very purpose of the ‘Center’ is to train students in building up and inculcating qualities of mind, soul and body. Both Club holds many sports activities including creative programmes under various sections such as literary, hobbies and cultural. Each program is celebrated with a great deal of enthusiasm and fanfare. Best students are awarded 'Color', 'Provost' and 'President' prizes in these various sections. With a view to maintain the desired standard of sociability and academic discipline, these Clubs are assisted by a provost and separate team of presidents, wardens and students’ office bearers. The cumulative resourcefulness of all the wardens and presidents improve the general tone and administration of the clubs. NRSC maintained two Clubs viz NRSC ‘A’ and NRSC ‘B’ till 2004. Now, NRSC has no distinctive clubs - 'A' or 'B'. It has one building opposite Ajmal Khan Tibbiya College Hospital with one president and one club secretary along with a provost, wardens and students office bearers. The 'provost office' which existed at the original building “Arnold House” since its inception (1956) has been shifted to its new office in 2009.
