Hyderabad:
The Maulana Azad National Urdu University Friday paid rich
tributes to former prime minister Inder Kumar Gujral, who was also
its first chancellor, saying he had left an "indelible mark" on
the institution.
Vice-Chancellor Mohammad Miyan described Gujral, who passed away
Friday, as a true representative of Urdu language and culture. "He
left indelible mark during the formative stages of this
university," he said in his condolence message.
Gujral was appointed as first chancellor of the university on May
24, 1999. He inaugurated the administrative block of the
university campus here on Dec 28, 2002.
"Mr Gujral was an avid lover of Urdu language. He was appointed as
the Chairman of Gujral Committee in the 1970s. The committee was
envisaged the task of finding means and ways to promote the Urdu
language and to provide adequate facilities for Urdu speaking
people in educational, cultural and administrative matters."
Mohammad Miyan recalled that the recommendations of Gujral
Committee provided the base to ponder over establishing a national
Urdu university.
Gujral will long be remembered as a seasoned diplomat, articulate
speaker and a true champion of the masses. MANUU owes a lot to
this inspiring personality, he added.
