Bhatkal Anjuman jubilee
 Secular
education should incorporate religious and cultural values while madrasas
could impart modern education to compete in the modern world', averred
Prof A M Khusro, former chairman, Finance Commission, Govt of India.
Speaking at the valedictory function of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations
of Anjuman Hami-e-Muslimeen, Bhatkal, a pioneering Muslim educational
trust, on May 5th at Bhatkal Prof Khusro called for the establishment of
regional institutes in the southern and northern parts of India under the
supervision of a Central Authority to improve the educational standards of
Muslims. He complimented the Anjuman for spreading the cause of Anjuman in
the region. He said the contribution of Muslims to sciences and medicines
had been immense, but for almost 500 years there was stagnation. The
Muslims had gone into deep slumber. Now the time has come for a
renaissance to restore their past glory.
Mr R V Deshpande, Minister for Industries, Govt of Karnataka, asserted
that although Muslims constituted 12 per cent of the population, only 1.5
per cent were graduates. He exhorted the Muslims to realize the importance
of education. Showering encomiums on Bhatkal Anjuman he said the
institution is rendering yeoman service in the region for the past 81
years.Mr Rehman Khan, deputy leader of the Congress in the Upper House,
said the minorities should understand their compulsions in a pluralistic
society and evolve a suitable path of development. He said the community
leaders should take measures to contain the high drop-out rate of Muslim
students from schools. He disclosed that the Govt had set up the Madrasa
Education Board with a budgetary provision of Rs 25 lakhs so that madrasas
maintained parity with other educational institutions in imparting
education. He emphasized the need to create more job opportunities as
education should not be a liability because of non-availability of jobs.
Mr S M Syed Khalil, Anjuman president, said it was a great day for Anjuman
and the people of Bhatkal as Anjuman has completed a glorious chapter of
achievements. He stressed the importance of education and added 'only by
education Muslims can attain greater glory,' Mr JD Naik, local MLA, also
spoke. Mr M A Ghani ex-vice-president, Anjuman, welcomed while Mr DH
Shabbar, ex-general-secretary, Anjuman, profiled the institution. Mr Aftab
Kola and Mr Syed Batin Abdurrahman compered.
It may be recalled that the jubilee was inaugurated last May. A series of
lectures on educational topics by eminent people was held throughout the
year. q |
