Nepal seeking India's help for Urdu education

Urdu will grow only when the number of people who know Urdu, grows. Pakistan in this case is guilty of letting go of a good opportunity in playing a role for the development of Urdu in Nepal. We can just hope that India helps Nepal, since Urdu is one of the official languages of India. NCPUL should help Tribhuvan University.

Read the story below:


KATHMANDU, SEPTEMBER 12: With an ‘‘indifferent’’ Pakistan not responding to its request for help, first made four years ago, Nepal’s Tribhuvan University is now turning to India to revive its Urdu department.

The department has been shut since 2001 ever since Pakistan stopped sending Urdu professors—it had been the practice since 1985 with Islamabad even paying salaries.

It is very sad news for me to hear that the Urdu Department of Tribhuwan University has been closed due to unavailability of Urdu Teacher. I am myself studied Urdu from Tribhuwan University 'During the time of Prof. Dr. Abdul Rauf Kausar who died last year in a plane crash in Pakistan after completion of his

services in Nepal.
I will never forget that I could get a language from Tribhuwan University because this language became my sprit, I myself wrote a primary Urdu learning Book for the beginners.
If India shows interest in this regard, it will be an appriciable step.
