President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Friday underlined the need to take Urdu beyond literature and poetry to enrich it with science and technology and link it to employment generation.
Delivering the first convocation address of the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad National Urdu University here, Kalam asked the university to transform the Urdu-speaking youth into professionals fit for the knowledge society, and train and prepare them for the challenges of the job market.
He said one of the missions of the university should be to bring Urdu into the national front.
It can be done only by enriching the language with science subjects, providing quality literature, evolving teaching syllabus and teaching proficiency using the unique core competence of the language. Also, Urdu must be able to absorb words from other languages particularly scientific terms, said Kalam.
The aim of the faculty members should be to build character, human values, enhance the learning capacity of the students through technology and build the confidence among them that `we can do it`. The student should be made to feel that the language is not a barrier for their growth and development.
The educational system should emphasize the importance of entrepreneurship and prepare students right from college to get oriented towards enterprises that would provide them creativity, freedom and ability to generate wealth, he said.
Kalam called upon banks to support young entrepreneurs so that they could earn by innovating products.
