New Delhi: A formal response has been received from the Union Government regarding the National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language (NCPUL), raising hopes for the council’s reorganisation and the revival of its administrative activities.
In the reply sent under the Ministry of Education to Dr. Syed Ahmad Khan, National President of the Urdu Development Organisation (UDO), it has been stated that the process of reconstituting the council is currently underway, and the formation of relevant committees is also under consideration. According to the letter, the reconstitution of the Executive Board and the Governing Council is in its final stages, while the formation of the Finance Committee is also being reviewed by the ministry.
In this regard, Dr. Syed Ahmad Khan said that receiving a response from the Union Government is a positive sign. He expressed hope that the reorganisation process of NCPUL will be completed soon, enabling the institution to resume its role in promoting the Urdu language with full effectiveness.
