Kashipur, Uttrakhand: “Without education nobody can progress because the path of development is so ticklish and difficult that an illiterate man cannot walk more on the path of progress. The difference between illiterate and educated is like the difference between dead and alive,” said Senior Faculty of Aligarh Muslim University Dr. Shakeel Samdani, who was addressing an Educational Conference at Iqra Junior High School, Dheemakheda, Kashipur.
He said that a conspiracy was hatched to keep the Muslims away from education that’s why very few schools and colleges were opened in their areas. The Muslims who secured degrees were also denied jobs that’s why a sense of frustration developed in their minds. Now the situation has changed and the Muslim boys and girls are trying their best to get higher education. They are getting jobs in private sector also.
