In November 2019, The Uttar Pradesh cabinet gave its nod to setting up of a new university in Aligarh named after Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh. “After becoming MP in 2014, I had demanded that Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh be given his due and AMU should give reservation to OBCs, SCs and STs. We have got the new university for the brighter future of the local youth. I will now ensure reservation to OBCs, SCs and STs at AMU,” said Gautam.
