  • Gojri-Pahari Graduates Should Be Made Eligible to Teach Gojri-Pahari Subjects at BGBSU

    RAJOURI AUGUST 14:–In any academic setting, it’s crucial that a teacher specializing in a particular subject should be the one imparting knowledge in that field. This ensures that students receive the most accurate and in-depth education possible. However, at Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University, the situation is different for those studying Gojri and Pahari languages. Currently, teachers from Urdu and Persian backgrounds are teaching these subjects. This is primarily because Gojri-Pahari was newly introduced as subjects following the resolutions of the New Education Policy (NEP), which aimed to promote regional languages.

    The positive development now is that we have a number of students who have graduated as master degree holders in Gojri-Pahari. This means we now have qualified individuals who specialize in these subjects. It’s time that these graduates are given opportunities to teach Gojri-Pahari, as they are specifically trained in these languages.

    One of the key benefits of this change would be the further promotion and recognition of the Gojri-Pahari Subject. A subject cannot flourish or develop without being linked to employment opportunities. If we have Gojri-Pahari graduates occupying teaching positions at BGSB University, future students will see a viable career path in these languages. This will encourage more students to pursue studies and research in these fields, leading to a richer body of literature and history.

    When a subject is disconnected from employment prospects, it begins to lose its importance in people’s minds. Therefore, it’s essential that posts for these subjects be created not just at the university level but also in colleges and schools. This will help these languages strengthen their roots at the grassroots level.

    I respectfully urge the Vice-Chancellor, Dean Academic Affairs and Registrar of BGBSU to consider this matter seriously. For the positions of assistant professors in Gojri and Pahari, those who hold master’s degrees in these specific subjects should be made eligible and should be given equal, if not greater, preference. This is not only their right but also a matter of justice.

    Let us ensure that these languages receive the attention and respect they deserve, by placing them in the hands of those most qualified to teach them.

    SRINAGAR AUGUST 14:--Jammu & Kashmir Pradesh Congress General Secretary and member All India Congress Committee Waseem Ahmad Shalla has called on the Smart City Project CEO to expedite the macadamisation process in various areas of Srinagar’s old town, particularly within the Khanyar Constituency.

    In a statement released today, Shalla highlighted the urgent need to improve road conditions, noting that residents are facing significant hardships due to the current state of the infrastructure.

    While acknowledging that macadamisation has begun in several areas, he emphasized the necessity to increase the pace of work, citing the approaching rainy season as a critical factor.

    “Even a brief drizzle lasting two hours leads to road inundation, as the upgradation work is still in progress. The concern about potential issues arising from the ongoing construction, including severe traffic congestion is also adding to the public inconvenience,” Shalla stated.

    The Congress leader urged the administration to prioritize this matter, calling for a “war footing” approach to complete the macadamisation of roads and construction of pathways.

    Shalla stressed the importance of minimizing disruptions to daily life, enabling residents to work and commute with ease.
