MANUU to become nodal agency for Urdu: Dr. Aslam Parvaiz

Hyderabad: Publication of books and spreading their content through social media is vital in promotion of knowledge. Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) is working on both the fronts. Dr. Mohammad Aslam Parvaiz, Vice Chancellor expressed these views today after inaugurating books sale counter of Directorate of Translation & Publication (DTP) on University Campus.

MANUU can play a leading role at national level as a nodal agency for promoting of a language of knowledge, he added. DTP shall make an attempt to include knowledge-based literature into the category of non-fiction literature. This will be a bold step. We need to show dedication to the extent of craziness, he remarked.

Dr.Abid Moiz, Consultant, Centre for Promotion of Knowledge in Urdu, compared the contribution of the fledging DTP to that of erstwhile Darut Tarjuma (Translation Bureau) of Osmania University.

Earlier, Prof. Mohd. Zafaruddin, Director, DTP, briefed the audience about the aims and objectives of the Directorate through power point. DTP is basically publishing three types of books, glossaries, knowledge & syllabi based books. Besides it also publishes MANUU's first literary and research Journal "Adab-o-Saqafat".
