Hyderabad to host 3rd 'Taleem ki Taquat' conference tomorrow

The third edition of 'Taleem ki Taquat', a conference on how education can energise communities, will be held at Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) campus at Gachibowli here tomorrow.
Union Minority Affairs Minister Najma Heptulla and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao will chair the conference.
The conference has been organised with a particular emphasis on empowering different communities, particularly the Muslim community. It also looks into ways to accelerate the process of bringing the minorities into the mainstream through the use of Taleem or education, a release said today.
The first edition of this "movement" was held in Mumbai on August 3, while the second one was held in Patna on September 5.

Zafar Sareshwala, the Chancellor of Maulana Azad National Urdu University will preside over the conference, in which Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mohd Mohamood Ali, Supreme Court Judge Justice M Y Eqbal, among other dignitaries will take part.
"The only agenda behind this initiative is to encourage different communities, particularly the Muslim community, to equip itself with knowledge and skill through education since it is the only key to development for its social and economic transformation," Sareshwala said.
"I want Muslims and all young people, particularly women, to engage with the government and take benefit of diverse welfare schemes," he added.
