The Muslim intelligentsia and Muslim Institutions complain over the lack of Urdu textbooks for the school students will be over soon. To end this year long problem Jamia Milia University & NCERT has recently signed a pact. Under this contract Jamia Milia University will be translating school textbooks in Urdu over the next three years.
Recently Muslims Representatives complain to the Prime Ministers high level committee on Muslims that around 40 percent of the Muslim students were forced to drop out from the school because of the absence Urdu text books and Urdu teachers. But the understanding between Jamia and NCERT is considered worthwhile after this complain.
This project will be a big boost for the language especially at the school level.
The subjects which will be translated in the first phase include mathematics, history, economics, political science, commerce, sociology, geography, biology, chemistry, physics and science. The classes for which these translations will be done are class I, III, VI, IX, & XI. The deadline for the first phase is February 2006. This will be beneficial for the students in Delhi, UP, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and part of the Karnataka. In the first phase, 33 Urdu translators will be engaged in this job. Most of the translators will be retired teachers and professors. The university is in the process to appointing translators from the Delhi University, Jamia School, and the Aligarh Muslim University.
Rakshanda Jalil of Jamia Milia University, who involved with the project said, We will be streamlining our translation system, which will be beneficial for children as it will be easy for them to grasp the concepts better. So the translation will be done in Urdu which is used in every day conversation rather than complicated word. He said in this regard the university will also be conduct special workshops for translators. After the translation work is completed it will be scrutinized by a copy editor. Then a camera-ready copy will be published by the university. After that it will handed over to NCERT for publication.
