Amity Institute of Liberal Arts is a pioneer in the area of Liberal Arts education. The University, known for its state-of-the-art campus, lends a balanced perspective to students regarding issues pertaining to national and international levels. The institute strives to groom students as future leaders who will create an inclusive society that works for the overall development of all citizens. Students at AILA are engaged in learning and researching contemporary issues, particularly at the grassroots level. The institute provides its students with overall exposure to real-world problems through regular interaction with experts and political workers, rural camps, RTI sessions, social practicums and visits to prominent NGOs to gain insight into the current socio-economic issues and challenges prevailing in the society. The institute’s emphasis on hands-on training and field visits motivates students to devise workable solutions for problems plaguing our society. The courses are directed towards achieving academic excellence, problem-solving skills and extending research outcomes to resolve socio-economic, political, and operational concerns at the village, block, district, state, and national levels.

The team of faculty members motivates students to attain a clear perception of the ideas, mission, philosophy, and functionality of various spokes of administration to make informed career decisions.

The Liberal Times – AILA's E-journal

The 'LIBERAL TIMES' represents the intellectual and imaginative spirit of AILA, offering a dynamic platform where stories are narrated with honesty, perspectives are shared with courage, and opinions spark meaningful discussions. This publication captures the very essence of the department—its memorable milestones, proud achievements, and evolving academic journey. At the same time, it embraces fresh perspectives and unconventional ideas that reflect the diversity and dynamism of the AILA community.

Each edition aims to showcase thought-provoking viewpoints, heartfelt narratives, and inspiring reflections contributed by students and faculty alike. The vision behind The Liberal Times is clear: to amplify voices that matter, to share stories that resonate, and to create content that informs, innovates, and inspires.

The emblem of the magazine—the majestic griffin—beautifully symbolizes its guiding philosophy. Representing strength, courage, and divinity, the griffin combines the body of a lion and the keen vision of an eagle. This powerful imagery reflects AILA’s commitment to excellence, creativity, and integrity. Just as the griffin commands admiration and respect, The Liberal Times aspires to leave a lasting impression on its readers. It invites them to embark on an intellectual journey through its pages—celebrating achievements, exploring new ideas, and embracing fearless creativity. In doing so, the magazine becomes not merely a publication but a living reflection of AILA’s curiosity, imagination, and spirit.

At its core, The Liberal Times seeks to build bridges—connecting students, faculty, and readers beyond the institutional boundaries of AILA. It is envisioned as an inclusive space that welcomes every voice, from emerging writers and artists to thoughtful scholars and changemakers. Through poetry, essays, interviews, artwork, and photography, the magazine captures the pulse of contemporary times and the rich diversity of its academic community. Each contribution becomes a testament to the transformative power of liberal education—the power to question, to create, and to care.
