Proposal made by Jamia Millia Vice-Chancellor Mushirul Hasan

NEW DELHI: Starting a new chapter for the country in Urdu, Jamia Millia Islamia here has proposed establishment of an Urdu Teachers' Training and Learning Academy.

The proposed academy would go a long way in promoting the language by not only translating textbooks but also developing curriculum for schools.

The proposal was made by Jamia Vice-Chancellor Mushirul Hasan at a recent meeting of the Monitoring Committee on Minorities.

The academy would be required to train teachers for Urdu and organising translation of textbooks and facilitating their access.

The Academic Council of Jamia Millia Islamia has set up a five-member committee to prepare the blueprint for such an academy. The members of the committee are Akhtarul Wassey M. Akhtar Siddiqui, Zahid Husain Khan, M. Asaduddin and Rakhshanda Jalil.
