MANUU Foundation Day Highlights First Generation Learners
- MANUU Foundation Day showcases role in higher education access
- NEP 2020 implementation and inclusive growth at MANUU
Hyderabad: MANUU Foundation Day celebrations highlighted the university’s role in connecting first generation learners with higher education. Prof. Anil D. Sahasrabudhe said Maulana Azad National Urdu University is transforming lives by reaching youth whose families had no earlier access to higher studies. He addressed the gathering as chief guest during the 29th Foundation Day programme held at the university.
Prof. Sahasrabudhe, Chairman Executive Council of NAAC and former Chairman of AICTE, said MANUU’s work among first generation learners is revolutionary. He noted that NEP 2020 is being implemented very well at the university. He said MANUU offers law, para medical, science, commerce, polytechnic, and skill development courses. Therefore, students get wide academic options under one institution.
Explaining NEP 2020, he said the biggest benefit is flexibility. If a student drops out for any reason, he can still get a certificate for the completed course. Later, the student can return to studies after one or two years with ease. He also said students who take part in sports and other competitions can earn academic credits under the policy. Meanwhile, he stressed that universities must grow continuously, which he said is visible at MANUU.
Prof. Sahasrabudhe also said education is being provided in the mother tongue from class one to doctoral level through campuses across the country. He added that no other university in India is as unique as MANUU. Later, he advised teachers and students to become lifelong learners.
Prof. Syed Ainul Hasan, Vice Chancellor of MANUU, presided over the function. In his remarks, he said the university has moved from scratch to a superior quality institution. He said MANUU is young, yet its progress and public satisfaction will continue. He described MANUU as a national university serving highly marginalized sections of society.
He also thanked the Government of India for full support. He said many first generation learners are benefiting from the university. Speaking on women empowerment, he said girls intake increased from 5 percent to 47 percent. He said this reflects the university mandate to support girl students. He added that MANUU is implementing NEP in toto with social inclusion, multidisciplinary learning, and outreach programmes.
Registrar Prof. Ishtiaque Ahmed delivered the welcome address. He spoke about infrastructure, courses, and facilities. He said the main campus spreads over 200 acres and focuses on research and education through Urdu medium. He also recalled the vision of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. On the occasion, the university felicitated eminent personalities, retired teachers, and employees for their services.
