Renowned Islamic scholar, educationist and Member of Parliament,

AMU to eliminate darkness of ignorance.
Mualana Asrarul
Haque was addressing the prize distribution ceremony of All India

debate competitions a positive thinking could be developed among
youth, which may be used for constructive purposes. Referring to

has been working on character building along with imparting formal
education to the students since Sir Syed’ days and students of this
University have brought laurels not only in the country but on
international level.

others, which is a pre-requisite for a civilized society. He said
that India would emerge as a super power by 2020 and there will be
branches of AMU working simultaneously all over the country.

hub of literary and cultural activities in the University where

and gave their full cooperation in maintaining peace in the campus.

registering their talents not only in country but also in foreign
countries. The Vice Chancellor pointed out that a good debater must
have knowledge and wisdom.

and he feels honored to be here. He appealed to the students to take
part in competitions not only to win prizes but also for the sake of
participation as it is also a way of training. He called upon them
to play an active role in nation building.
