Aligarh: A seminar was organized on ‘Sir Syed’s mission and national awareness’ by Shams Educational and Welfare Society at Faizul Uloom Junior High School. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, one of the architects of modern India, was born on October 17, 1817 at Delhi. His birthday is celebrated as Sir Syed Day and programmes are organized for days in his memory.
“The best tribute to Sir Syed is to impart good training to the students in addition to their education. Without good training and upbringing, education it is useless as it leads to more harm and then gain in the society. Wherever Sir Syed used the word education he has also used the word good training,” noted Dr. Shakeel Samdani, President Sir Syed Awareness Forum and Senior faculty of Law.
He reminded that the mission of Sir Syed will be more successful when the community’s moral condition will be better and the Muslim community would do something to prevent the atrocities, injustice and inequality in the society.
Jabin Ayesha, Special Labour Commissioner, said that the poor and weaker sections of the society are deprived of education, that’s why the Muslims should themselves start working in that direction. She said that the people should benefit from the welfare schemes initiated by the government and for that purpose a sensitisation program is necessary.
Additional Superintendent of Police, Hemraj Mina,I P S opined that the presence of large number of women in the seminar is an indication that the women are serious about their issues and they are becoming aware about their problems. He appealed to the women to educate their children and fulfil the dream of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan.
Spokesman of AICC, Vivek Bansal said that Sir Syed had also given emphasis on women education and the need of the hour is to restart that mission. Welcoming the guests, Convener of the seminar, Naseem Shahid said that the life is incomplete without education. He demanded from the government to make admission process easier and provide cheaper education for the students.
The seminar was attended by Dr. Masood Ahmad, Chief Editor, Salam-e-Watan, Saeeda Khatoon, Shakeel Ur Rehman, Manager of the school, Sharif Ur Rehman, Sanjeeda Begum, Mazin, Master Abdul Qadeer Khan, Farhat Usmani ,Advocate, Wasim Ahmad and prominent social workers and community leaders.
