Kolkata, WEST BENGAL :

Thirty two students from humble background clear NEET 2023 with the help of Urooj, celebrate medical dreams.

Kolkata :

Three years ago, amidst the fast-paced hustle of Blinkit, grocery deliveries zipped past Mohammed Iqbal. But on Sunday, in a Kolkata school auditorium, a stethoscope draped around his neck marked a stark contrast to his past – a future doctor stood ready to embark on a new journey.

“In 2021, I was an auditor for Blinkit. I have to visit Blinkit stores and check their qualities,” Iqbal, now a student of Bachelor in Dental Studies (BDS) at Burdwan, reminisced. “My father ran a small clothing shop. Juggling studies and supporting my family, NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) coaching seemed like a distant dream. That’s when I found Urooj.”

Urooj Institute, recognizing Ahmed’s financial constraints and demanding work schedule, extended a helping hand. Dr Minhjuddin Khurram, the institute’s anchor man, vividly recalled their first meeting, 

“He came in wearing a Blinkit t-shirt. We understood his situation – he couldn’t afford coaching while working in a job where he has to be mobile most of the time. So, we helped him secure a librarian job, allowing him to study for NEET while earning an income.”

This act of support and understanding proved crucial. With renewed focus and dedication, Ahmed aced the exam on his second attempt. Now, he sets his sights even higher, aiming for an MBBS seat next time.

Similar struggles resonated in the story of Sarfaraz, a former freelance video editor. “My father, a primary school teacher who started working late in life, couldn’t afford luxuries,” Raiyan, now a BDS student, shared. “To support myself, I did video editing. Urooj’s guidance proved invaluable, helping me score 569 marks in NEET 2023.” Like Ahmed, Raiyan plans to retake the exam to improve his rank and qualify for an MBBS seat.

Ashraf, whose father owns a paan shop, and Shenaz, daughter of a bus driver who fell short of an MBBS seat by just one mark in 2022, were among the 32 Urooj students celebrated by renowned practicing doctors in Kolkata. 

The evening buzzed with stories of resilience and triumph, each one a testament to the transformative power of opportunity.

Urooj also recognized its partners, including Headmaster Mohammed Alamgir of MD High School. His words resonated throughout the hall, “The government invests heavily in each doctor’s education – crores of rupees, funded by taxpayer money. So, if you studied at a government medical college, remember your responsibility to serve the public. Don’t think your success solely relies on you and your parents’ hard work. Society plays a vital role through taxes.”

Several doctors echoed Alamgir’s sentiment, urging the newcomers to pay it forward by helping others pursue their medical dreams, just like Urooj helped them. 

On the occasion, Urooj also honoured three of its teachers- Md Irshad, Amrendra Kumar and Nadim Haider.

Abdullah Amir of Helping Hand Trust told the medical students about the butterfly effect and that every small work matters.

Dr Jawera Mehreen reminded the students, “In Palestine, doctors are true heroes. Remember, you have to serve the humanity wherever you will be.”

These 32 young individuals, embarking on their journeys as future doctors, represent not just personal triumphs but testaments to the power of collective support and dedication. As they step into the white coats, a shared commitment to serve humanity unites them, a promise whispered in the echoes of their past struggles and fueled by the unwavering support they received.

Last year, 22 students of Urooj, most of them from humble background had cleared NEET 2022.

The names of the students have been changed on their requests.

Education

Mangaluru, KARNATAKA :

Mangaluru:

Anjuman Taraqqi E Urdu, an NGO promoting the Urdu language in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, organised a debate competition on 20th October at the Badria College campus as part of the Badria Centenary celebrations (1924–2024). The competition featured the Badria Centenary Urdu Debate Trophy.

The event, divided into morning and evening sessions, saw a debate competition in the morning followed by a trophy award ceremony. Chief Guest P.C. Hashir, Managing Director of Peecy Group of Companies and Correspondent of Badria Institution, alongside Keynote Speaker Abid Ulla Athahar Shimogavi, a retired principal and president of the State Organization, Secretary of Urdu Taraqqi Hind and H. M. Afroz Assadi, Managing Director of Northern Insurance LLC, Dubai, who sponsored the event, were present at the event Mumtaz Hussain, an NRI entrepreneur from Qatar, chaired the proceedings.

Both sessions commenced with a recitation from the Holy Quran. In his address, P.C. Hashir highlighted the role of debates and educational activities in fostering intellectual growth among students, suggesting that such competitions could help shape future lawmakers. Keynote Speaker Abid Ulla Athahar stressed the importance of primary education in one’s mother tongue, citing the example of countries like Japan, Germany, and France, which educate children in their native languages. He noted that studying in the mother tongue allows for better comprehension compared to learning in foreign languages like English.

Mumtaz Hussain, an alumnus of Badria Institution, shared the brief history of the institution, founded in 1924 by Marhoom C. Mehmud as AL MADRASATHUL BADRIA, initially offering religious education to local children in Bunder and Kudroli. The relationship between Badria and the Urdu language is profound; it was the first school to offer Urdu studies in the undivided Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts since 1947. After C. Mehmud’s passing, various presidents led the organization, with Marhoom Thumbe Ahmed Hajee serving the longest from 1975 to 2020. Hussain recounted that, in the past, students were required to speak Urdu within the institution or face punishment for using other languages.

The junior-level debate competition saw participation from seven higher primary schools in Dakshina Kannada. Mohammed Ghouse from Higher Primary School Kandatpalli won first place, with Rifa and Fathima Suzana from Government Urdu Higher Primary School, Kawalkatte (Bantwal Taluk), securing second and third places, respectively. At the senior level, five high schools from Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts participated. Abdul Baari and Abdur Rahman from Thouheed English Medium High School, Gangolli, Udupi district, took first and second places, while Khadeejatul Farzana from Sayyed Madani Urdu High School, Ullal Taluk, D.K., came third.

The junior-level Badria Centenary Championship Trophy was awarded to Government Urdu Higher Primary School, Kawalkatte (Bantwal Taluk), and the senior trophy went to Thouheed English Medium High School, Gangolli, Udupi district. Twenty other participants received consolation certificates.

Five 10th standard students, Mohammed Meraj Khan, Fouzia Banu, Moulana Mohammed Uzaim, Sabiya Naaz, and Aysha Ruha were also felicitated for excelling in Urdu in the Karnataka State Board Examinations (2023–24).

The event began with a welcome address by Mohammed Hanif Master, Secretary of Anjuman. A.S. Madani, President of the organisation, outlined its objectives and future plans for promoting the Urdu language. Engineer Khaleel, Assistant Secretary, provided logistical support, and Rahmathulla, an active member of the Anjuman, gave the vote of thanks. The event was hosted by Badria alumnus and international emcee, Sahill Zahir.

Community Involvement / Social Issues, Education, ,

NEW DELHI :

New Delhi:

EmpowerIndia Trust organized a national convention titled “Strategies and Planning for Educational Renaissance” at India Islamic Cultural Centre on Saturday evening.

Mohammed Khalid Khan, Founder Trustee and Chairman of EmpowerIndia, emphasized the transformative power of education, stating that it elevates, develops, and enlightens individuals while empowering them to fight for their rights, honour, and survival. He expressed concern that India is not ranked among the top 10 most educated countries in the world, and highlighted the need to prioritise education to empower both the community and the nation.

As part of its efforts, EmpowerIndia Trust has launched a pilot project, establishing a vocational training centre offering various paramedical courses such as Diplomas in Hospital Nursing and Midwifery, Medical Lab Technology, Operation Theatre Technology, Radiology and Imaging Technology, Physiotherapy, Electrocardiogram, and Emergency Treatment. The trust also aims to establish a Law College of excellence.

The conference was chaired by Dr. Syed Zafar Mahmood, Chairman of Zakat Foundation of India, who urged the utilisation of state and central government schemes, noting that many students are unaware of these beneficial programmes. He stressed the importance of making students aware of such schemes through proper counselling and information sharing.

Prof. Rehan Khan Suri, Director of Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Jamia Millia Islamia, highlighted that education is not a charity but a responsibility. He pointed out that Right to Education Act, 2009 provides for free and compulsory education for children aged 6-14, yet the educational attainment among minorities remains below 6%. He called for focused collaboration and support from organisations at the district level to improve educational outcomes.

Acharya Yeshi Phuntsok, former Deputy Speaker of the Exile Government of Tibet, emphasized the importance of a learning environment at home, blending classical and modern holistic education to cultivate kindness and enlightenment in children.

Dr. Shakeel Ahmed Qureshi, Senior Advisor at Ministry of Education, stressed that education brings global recognition and reiterated the adage that “the pen is mightier than the sword.” Dr. MM Ansari, a scholar and former interlocutor for J&K, raised concerns about the Muslims’ lag in educational attainment, falling 10 years behind the national average. He advocated for affordable education, teacher training programmes, and a collaborative approach to address high dropout rates in higher education.

Mohammad Talha Hanfi, Group Chairman of FuGen Group of Companies, highlighted the need to address core issues at the grassroots level for the underprivileged. He emphasized capacity building and shared his vision of converting beneficiaries into benefactors by using profits from IT sector projects and donations to support education for needy students.

The event also featured addresses from several prominent figures, including Prof. Dr. Vipin Kumar Tripathi of IIT, Moulana Ghulam Rasool Baliyawi, a JDU leader, social activist and educationist Sameen Adeeb, Supreme Court advocate ZK Faizan, and other notable scholars and educators.

Naushad Ahmed Khan, Advocate at Supreme Court and Joint Secretary of EmpowerIndia Trust, extended a vote of thanks.

VC Jamia Hamdard Unveils Book on Muslim-Established Educational Institutions in India

NEW DELHI :

New Delhi:

A new book titled “Educational Institutions Established by Muslims in India (1986-2016),” authored by Naaz Khair and commissioned by Institute of Objective Studies, was unveiled by Professor Afshar Alam, Vice Chancellor of Jamia Hamdard, at the IOS auditorium here Saturday.

While releasing the book, Professor Alam highlighted its comprehensive examination of educational institutions founded by Muslims in India over a thirty-year period.

He noted, “The book offers insightful analysis of how these institutions have contributed to the educational and social progress of the Muslim minority, focusing on both the challenges faced and the achievements made. It also underscores the significant role of institutions like Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia in providing access to higher education for Muslim students, who are often marginalized in India’s broader educational landscape.”

Naaz Khair, the author and an independent consultant in education and social sector, shared key findings from the book. She revealed that, between 1986 and 2016, Muslims established 21,338 recognized and unrecognized private schools, including madrasas, as well as seven UGC-approved private universities, 111 UGC-approved private colleges, 3,660 minority-run private schools, colleges, and universities, and 226 minority-run technical institutions.

Professor Furqan Qamar from JMI’s Department of Management Studies praised the publication, noting, “This is an excellent starting point, but it’s crucial to continue updating this data. The creation and regular updating of a comprehensive database of Muslim-established institutions will benefit researchers both nationally and internationally.”

Professor M. Akhtar Siddiqui, a retired faculty member from JMI’s Faculty of Education, remarked, “This study firmly establishes that Muslims have made significant contributions to nation-building, despite criticisms to the contrary. It shows that the community values education and is committed to the nation’s progress.”

Professor Madhu Prasad, a retired professor from Zakir Hussain College, reflected on her own experience, stating, “I come from an institution, Zakir Hussain College (formerly Madrasa Ghaziuddin), which represents the rich history of Muslim education in India. For over 300 years, it has been a leading institution for higher education in North India, and its legacy is a testament to the Muslim community’s enduring contribution to the country’s educational landscape.”

RTI activist and researcher Saleem Baig discussed the difficulties encountered in gathering data for the book, noting the reluctance of stakeholders and government bodies to share information about Muslim-established institutions.

Bengaluru, KARNATAKA :

Bengaluru:

The Razack family, renowned for their legacy of generosity, has donated Rs 5 crore to St Joseph’s Boys’ High School (SJBHS) to support the institution’s ongoing projects.

The unveiling of the ‘Razack Family Block’ plaque in September 2024 marked a significant moment for the school. Present at the event were prominent alumni, including Irfan Razack, Managing Director of Prestige Estates Projects (Batch of 1968), along with his brothers Rezwan Razack (Batch of 1970) and Noaman Razack (Batch of 1974).

The generous contribution will fund crucial developments at the school, including the construction of a playground with a double basement and additional classrooms. These infrastructure upgrades aim to align with the new National Education Policy (NEP) and address longstanding challenges such as parking limitations in Bengaluru’s Central Business District.

During the ceremony, Irfan Razack expressed his gratitude, saying, “It is a privilege to give back to my alma mater, which has shaped me into who I am today. Your recognition of my efforts is humbling, and I am deeply grateful.” The sentiments were echoed by Rezwan Razack and other family members, all underscoring their continued commitment to supporting the school’s growth.

Jayashree Prince Jacob, a teaching faculty member at SJBHS, highlighted the deeper meaning of the Razack family’s donation, stating, “This contribution represents more than just financial support. It is a testament to the lasting bond between the school and its alumni, inspiring future Josephites to uphold the tradition of giving back.”

In a statement, the school reflected on its cherished motto, “Fide et Labore” (Faith and Toil), emphasizing that the values imparted through the years continue to resonate with the alumni. “Once a Josephite, always a Josephite” remains more than a saying—it embodies the unyielding love and loyalty of the Josephite community.

The Razack family’s contribution serves as a lasting example of dedication to the school’s mission, ensuring that St Joseph’s Boys’ High School continues to thrive and inspire future generations.

Her journey began in October 2023 with an essay competition, followed by a rigorous selection process and a challenging interview in Pune on January 20. “Without the support from my school and NGOs, the documentation process would have been daunting,” she said.

Principal Rafiq Siddiqui of the Holy Mother School played a crucial role. He recalled how Tayyaba, who had to leave her previous school due to unpaid fees, joined Holy Mother in the sixth grade. “Moved by her determination, we assured her she’d never have to worry about fees again,” he said. NGOs like Smile Foundation and Teach for India also provided vital support.

In an interview, Tayyaba expressed her gratitude: “I thank Allah, my parents, my sisters, my principal, and the NGOs. I am excited to study in Singapore but aim to return and serve my country.”

Tayyaba’s journey from Mumbai’s Malvani to securing a ₹2 crore UWC scholarship is a testament to perseverance, hard work, and community support. Her success is an inspiration, showing that with determination and the right support, anything can be made possible.

Malegaon:

The educational journey of the Ahmed Naseem Meena Nagri Education Society is set to become a defining milestone for New Malegaon, thanks to the remarkable efforts of Shakir Sir. In honour of his legacy, Shakir Sir has been instrumental in establishing new educational institutions including the Abdul Shakur Pre-Primary and Primary School and Junior College, Millat Urdu High School, Insha Paramedical College and Diploma Courses. The inauguration ceremony of these institutions was held near Labbaik Hotel in the Malda area of New Malegaon. The residents of Malegaon are expected to benefit greatly from these new facilities.

The foundation stone ceremony of Millat Urdu High School was conducted by General Secretary of All India Muslim Personal Law Board, Maulana Umrain Mahfuz Rahmani. Maulana Rahmani acknowledged the significant contributions of Shakir Sir, saying, “He has been a dedicated teacher, and with the establishment of this institution, he has gifted the community a place of learning that will endure even after him.”

Maulana Rahmani also highlighted that the late Maulana Syed Wali Muhammad Rahmani had close ties with Shakir Sir.

Inaugurating Insha Paramedical and IT College, Dr. Saeed Farani remarked, “This campus offers education from primary levels to medical training. Paramedical services are now indispensable, serving as the backbone of healthcare without which medical care cannot function.”

Dr. Farani stressed that medicine ensures success in both this world and the hereafter if pursued with sincerity. Highlighting Malegaon’s rise as a medical hub, attracting patients from a 150-200 km radius, he noted the growing presence of hospitals and increasing interest from corporate healthcare. However, these hospitals will need qualified paramedical staff, now mandated by the government. He urged residents to enrol in paramedical courses to boost their employment prospects.

Dr. Ayub Khan Poonawala, speaking on the significance of paramedical education, noted that the era of paramedical and IT training has begun. “This is the sixth paramedical college being established after Mumbai, Pune, and Nashik. Paramedical students have a 100% job placement rate. Malegaon, known as a city of skilled workers, will now benefit from this initiative.”

Headmaster Al-Haj Qureshi Mukhtar also addressed the gathering saying, “In an era where educational institutions are becoming commercial enterprises, establishing such a purposeful campus in the suburbs is truly commendable.”
