MANUU is among six universities in the country where Maulana Azad chair is established to propagate the legacy and work of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, freedom fighter and India’s first education minister.
Prof. Suleman Siddiqui, Professor of the Chair and Former Vice Chancellor of Osmania University addressed a press conference at MANUU campus to inform about the event.
Siddiqui said the idea of conducting the seminars on Maulana Azad works is to identify those areas on which little or no work has been done on Azad’s disposition. He also said that this seminar will help the interested researchers to identify the libraries and private collection where new material on Azad is available.
The seminar is divided in three sessions; the first session will be on ‘Maulana Azad on politics, the second day’s session will be on ‘Maulana Azad on religion’ while the third day sessions would focus on ‘Maulana Azad on education and journalism.’
