Dear friend.
I was educated up to 3rd standard in Dharwad in Government Urdu School. Our Teacher with white pagadi and hanging back portion was so nice. My father was an Education officer in Dharwad. He established many Urdu Schools, in Dharwad, Bijapur, Belgaum and Karwar. He used his approach to Urdu Schools in villages for community outreach.
I completed my 7th in Belgaum Government Urdu School and SSC ie XIth in Islamiya High School Camp Belgaum. These 11 years of Urdu medium strengthen my love for Education. The teachers in those days were devoted.
Our Headmasters and principal Late Adam Jamadar, were great personalities.
Library, newspaper, reading books, discussion, allocution competitions, sports, science exhibition, and Drama competition were part of Education.
We learnt good English, Persian, Kannada and Marathi along with Urdu. The interaction with teachers was wonderful. My principal had called me in his office and corrected my Aswersheet for 3 hours. Each and every word and line he read and explained my mistakes. At that time he had had told me Urdu Couplets are Allexire (Abe Hayat) for brain development.
We worked for the garden, School building, extempore speeches, poetry and discussion. As a result, our batch was containing students from well-off parents and our entire batch had successful careers in their lives.
When we gathered after many years. We attributed our success of the batch to our devoted Teachers.
After B.Sc., I joined SFRC Coimbatore after a tough selection procedure and training in forestry. When I was joining my first posting in Sawantwadi my father advised me to be in touch with Urdu Schools, wherever you are posted. What a great vision.
I served in 6 Districts of Western Maharashtra and Konkan. I had a chance to be in touch with more than 200 Urdu medium Schools. My final interaction was with Azam Campus Pune. Where I met Dr.P.A.inamdar.He advised me to join my native School in Kudachi after retirement and work for community development.
When I joined Junnediya High School, Kudachi.We had 1000 students with 15 classrooms.
I could collect funds from India and abroad and constructed 40 classrooms School Building. With present strength of 3000 students.
Now zeal for Urdu medium School is weakening and the tendency of English medium is increasing. So we had Junnediya English medium School established along with Three computer Labs and Robotic Labs.
Now I have taken another 40 classroom project for English medium School. The Project is underway. We are getting financial support from our friends.
We have all three Mediums.ie Urdu, Kannada and English. But the parents are more inclined towards English Medium. We can't help.
In JEMS we have English, Kannada and Hindi languages. In addition, we have Urdu and Persian Diplomas financed by NCPUL, New Delhi.
Robotic Lab is financed by NITI Ayog. My Education, Service and my retirement years were my trysts with Urdu.
But I had an occasion to learn Urdu, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Arabic, Persian, English, Russian and Tagalo in Phillippines.
I am very happy with whatever I have done for Urdu and community. Everready to share my experience regarding Infrastructure Funding, Computer, NCPUL, Robotics, Artificial intelligence, Arduino, 3D printing, Augmented reality, Please feel free to share knowledge and ideas with me one to one.
