On HRD Minister Kapil Sibal’s agenda for 2011 is special roadmap for minorities. Experts will help the ministry chart out a Minority Agenda that will look at ways to ensure the restoration of the Urdu language, and it’ll help to create opportunities for Urdu speakers besides preservation of art and craft forms associated with the language and bring Urdu within the three-language formula popular in CBSE schools.
Therefore the agenda of the Annual General Meeting of National Council for promotion of Urdu language (NCPUL) is the new roadmap to empower the Urdu-speaking population. That meeting will be chaired by Sibal and meet on Wednesday.
Social worker Kamal Farooqi, Chairman CBSE, Vice Chancellor of Maulana Azad National Urdu University, P A Inamdar, DG Doordarshan and Chairman Commission for Scientific & Technical Terminology.
An official said in HRD ministry, “The idea is to reinforce those good technicians or experts need not have complete knowledge/mastery of English language but can also excel in the field while primarily speaking in Urdu. The aim is to focus on enhancing the capabilities and capacities of the Urdu-speaking population to enter these professions and we hope to do the same by developing equivalent technical terminology in the Urdu language”
