Hyderabad: Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) will make every possible effort to start a medical college, said Vice-Chancellor Prof Syed Ainul Hasan.
After Law School, MANUU needs a medical college and every possible effort will be made to start a medical college as per the Chancellor’s wish, he said while addressing 28th Foundation Day celebrations of MANUU.
MANUU Chancellor Mumtaz Ali and former Vice-Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University Prof Tariq Mansoor addressed the event.
Prof Ainul Hasan in his presidential remarks paid tribute to founding fathers of MANUU. He opined that MANUU’s foundation was very strong. “The base is perfect; that is why we have this galaxy today. All of you contributed a lot to the development of this University,” he said.
“You can achieve anything if you have collective efforts. I am sure with this pace of work and understanding you can go to any height and I am confident that our students, teachers and staff together will move forward to reach the destination,” the VC added.
Urdu is not the language of any region or religion but it is the language of whole India. Every Indian recognises that Urdu language is a major part of the culture and heritage of this country, said Prof. Tariq Mansoor.
He underlined that Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language and is one of the 23 national languages of India and spoken by more than 170 million people. Most linguists agree that Urdu is the amalgamation of Persian, Arabic, Braj Basha and other Indian languages. Both Punjab and Deccan play an important part in the development of Urdu language. The British promoted Urdu and Hindustani to counter effect the Persian language which was the royal language of Mughals, he added.
While congratulating MANUU fraternity, Prof. Mansoor said, “Foundation Day for any University is the time to celebrate and also to retrospect and to make future plans. MANUU has undoubtedly made phenomenal progress in the last quarter of century. It has an initial humble upbringing and now it has graceful presence.”
He urged teachers to be a role model for the students. He advised students to nurture big dreams, set lofty goals, work hard in nation building and become good human beings. Always use own common sense and judgment in taking decisions in your life, don’t be guided by others, he said.
Chancellor Mumtaz Ali said that compassion is very important part of our life. Paying tribute to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, he said Maulana Azad was not only religious, but also a supporter of contemporary sciences and it is the responsibility of every person associated with Urdu University to carry forward the mission of Maulana Azad.
On this occasion, eminent personalities Dr. Syed Mustafa Kamal, Mrs. Naseema Turabul Hasan, Padma Shri Mohammad Ali Baig, Dr. Abdul Qaudeer, Mr. Ashhar Farhan and Late Prof. Taqi Ali Khan were felicitated for nurturing and promoting Urdu language, art and culture. The University also felicitated retired teachers and non-teaching employees of MANUU with shawl and memento for their dedicated services rendered to the institution.
