Mumbai, India (IINA) - The Indian Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP) has appealed to Muslim professionals across the country to come forward and conduct Skill Development Lectures (SDL) in schools run by Muslim trusts or Urdu-medium civic schools to encourage students to take up careers in defence and research, civil services, law and media, The Indian Express daily reported.
The week-long national campaign “Hum Banenge Hind ki Nayi Pehchan” (We will become the new identity of India) will be organized from August 15 to August 22 to pay tribute to former president late APJ Abdul Kalam and to create awareness among Muslim students about the importance of education. The association members have said that the government too must start such an initiative.
The SDLs are intended to make the students understand the need for quality education in order to contribute to nation building.
Volunteers who have come forward have been trained by the AMP members to conduct lectures along with audio-visual aids. “SDLs and sessions on career counseling are important for Muslim students, especially those studying in vernacular medium schools.
These students are unable to connect with the scenario today,” said computer engineer and businessman Aamir Edresy, the founder and president of AMP.
On Saturday, nearly 80 professionals, from Mumbai and Pune, were trained to conduct the lectures. AMP is planning to conduct these lectures in at least 250 schools across the country.
