Hyderabad: Urdu is a source of empowerment, said Prof. Syed Ainul Hasan, Vice-Chancellor of Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) at Teachers’ Meet (Guftagu) organized on Monday.
The event was held as part of a series of training programmes being conducted by Centre for Development of Urdu Medium Teachers (CPDUMT) in collaboration with Telangana Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TMREIS) for its Urdu teachers. Around 600 teachers participated in the meeting. Earlier, they received 12-day training in batches from 23rd August to 8th September 2022 by the Centre.
The VC lauded TMREIS for its services in education, especially for girls in the community.
TMREIS Secretary, Mr. B. Shafiullah advised teachers to work on a three-point goal: teach knowledge and skills, impress values and bring awareness about education. The teachers of Urdu have dual responsibilities of teaching the language and preserving the culture, he pointed out.
