Call to turn Urdu into a language of R&D
Two-day School of Arts and Social Sciences (SA&SS) concludes at MANUU
Hyderabad: The Third National Urdu Social Sciences Congress concluded on Thursday at Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) with a call to make Urdu a language of research and development.
Centre for Promotion of Knowledge in Urdu of MANUU in association with School of Arts and Social Sciences (SA&SS) organised a two-day congress with the theme of 'Social Sciences in 21st Century Concerns and Challenges.'
Speaking on the occasion as the chief guest, Professor Zubair Meenai, Dept of Social Work, Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), said that people's thoughts, desires, needs were being controlled by e-marketing websites such as social media and e-commerce in today's world. The problem was that social scientists were not paying attention towards this issue and the time had come to focus on human values to mitigate the damage, he added.
Professor Ayub Khan, Pro Vice-Chancellor, said in his presidential address that experts talked about interdisciplinary research which was the need of the hour. He had done a lot of work on financial modeling which required knowledge of Mathematics as well as Economics. Better results of research can be achieved only by specialising in specific domain which can certainly benefit the society, he remarked.
