Vice President of National Federation GIO Khan Shaheen Jatu, asked the students to study hard to reap excellent results in exams. Today’s education system is based on rote learning method, through which good marks and rank can be achieved but not the ‘understanding’ with which one can take oneself and the society forward. As a result, behaviour, character, sense of responsibility and many other important aspects of life die before they develop in the students.
SIO Rajasthan State President Mohammad Adil Saifi said the real objective of education is to understand the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, false and truth and to prepare good and virtuous people for the re-construction of society. Therefore, there is a need to provide such education that shows the students the path to success with right thinking, right direction and moral education.
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Sikar District President Arif Jatu warned all the students against the positive and negative effects of social media, asking them to use social media wisely.
JIH Sikar former district president Usman Ghani told the students to become good and true Muslims along with becoming doctors, engineers, etc.
