Two lakh Muslim youth take to Kerala streets to mark 50 years of student group

Kannur, KERALA:

Over one and half lakh Muslim youth took the streets of Kerala’s Kannur on Saturday, marking the golden jubilee of the Sunni Students’ Federation (SSF).

The SSF was formed in Kerala on 29 April 1973 under the patronage of Sheikh Abubakr Ahmad. It is affiliated to All India Sunni Jamiyyathul Ulama.

Over two lakh students and youth attended the public conference at Jawahar Municipal Stadium in Kannur.

“It is the largest student assemblage in the country, which marked the rise and proclamation of the energetic sustenance of a moral student commune capable of leading the nation with secular values and ethical principles,” said Muslim scholar and the student body’s patron Sheikh Abubakr Ahmad.

Ahmad while inaugurating the valedictory session of the six day conference urged the state and Union governments to act against the hatred and communal disharmony.

Ahmad also demanded the ban of ‘The Kerala Story,’ a Hindutva propaganda movie which falsely claims that the southern Indian state is a hub of ‘love jihad.’

The theme of the conference was “Nammal Indian Janata” which translates to “We, the people of India”.

The main entrance to the conference was designed to resemble the Bab-e-Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the main gate of Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi. The construction of the conference gate also served as a pointed response to the Hindu nationalist government’s decision to exclude the great Muslim figure’s contributions from school textbooks.

Jamia Millia Islamia Students’ Film ‘Dhaai Peher’ Receives An Award At LIAFF

Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Education, Videos, World Opinion, , , , , , ,

NEW DELHI :

Dhaai Peher (Two and a Half Moments), a Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) student film directed by M.A. Mass Communication students Amal Devasiya, Danish Qazi, Jamshad Ali, Kashif Shakeel, and Pankaj Rawat, won the Outstanding Achievement Award in the student category at the L’Age d’Or International Arthouse Film Festival (LIAFF).

The story follows a series of events that unfold in Punjab in the 1990s. During the COVID outbreak, the film was made when outside venues were scarce, and Punjab had to be conjured up in and around Delhi.

LIAFF’s mission is to foster a film culture that inspires and brings together cross-cultural innovations that enrich people’s lives through entertainment and services that enlighten, educate, and entertain them.

The AJK Mass Communication Research Centre is India’s most prestigious media institute. The MCRC, founded in 1982 by Anwar Jamal Kidwai (previously VC of Jamia Millia Islamia and later Chairman of the Centre), offers graduate and post-graduate courses in new media art, craft, and technology. With professionally and academically skilled staff and a diverse range of visiting professionals, the MCRC provides the highest media education and training standards.

Lately, AJK MCRC has produced many eminent journalists and filmmakers. Barkha Dutt, Kabir Khan, Meenu Gaur are some of the examples.

NEW DELHI :

Nanoscience researchers from Jamia Millia Islamia – Marya Khan and Abgeena Shabir – selected for Prime Minister Research Fellowship 2020

New Delhi :

Two research scholars from Jamia Millia Islamia’s Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology – Ms Marya Khan and Ms Abgeena Shabir – have been selected for the coveted Prime Minister Research Fellowship (PMRF) under the Lateral Entry category of the May-2020 drive.

Dr Aurangzeb Khurram Hafiz, Officiating Director of the centre said that as part of the PMRF both researchers would be getting a fellowship of Rs 70, 000 for first two years, Rs 75,000 for 3rd year, Rs.80,000 for the fourth year and Rs.80,000 for the fifth year also.  Apart from this, each Fellow would be eligible for a research grant of Rs. 2 Lakhs per year (total of Rs 10 Lakhs for five years).

Jamia Millia’s Vice Chancellor Prof. Najma Akhtar congratulated both researchers and hoped that it will inspire other students of the university to do well in research. Jamia Millia stands for excellence and strive hard to provide its students every possible support to achieve great heights, she added.

“It is a matter of great pride for the Jamia Millia Islamia,” said Ahmad Azeem, PRO-Media Coordinator of the central university.

In a press statement, he said that Ms Marya Khan’s PhD work will be based on “Multifunctional Hybrid Nanomaterial based Biosensors for Health Monitoring”. The overall object is to synthesize multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials and further use them for the development of different biological sensing devices.

Functionalization of active area of biosensors with multifunctional hybrid nanostructures will not only improve the biosensor device stability, but also enhances selectivity, sensitivity and lowers detection limits of the biosensor. Additionally, the aim is to use micro-fabrication techniques to produce highly sensitive biosensors.

The development of multifunctional hybrid nanostructures based biosensors will help to overcome the limitations of sensing performances. Making them disposable and flexible will impact directly on socially and economically crucial arenas such as improved detection of clinically important biomolecules for effective response and treatment as well as an integrated smart sensing device will provide a simple, facile approach capable of selective and simultaneous detection of different biomolecules.

The PhD work of Ms Abgeena Shabir, who is pursuing PhD in nanotechnology under the supervision of Prof. S.S. Islam at Jamia, will be based on “Fabrication of High Performance Anode Materials For Li-Ion Batteries”. Through her research work she seeks to synthesize high specific capacity anode materials using facile and scalable techniques such that high energy demands are met and limitations of conventional batteries are overcome. The main aim of her work would be to synthesise Silicon/Graphene nanocomposite based anode materials with extraordinary properties of high stability, conductivity and coulombic efficiency. Her research work will pave a way for new future of silicon/graphene based batteries which will be cost effective and easy to operate.

The Prime Minister’s Research Fellows (PMRF) Scheme has been designed for improving the quality of research in various higher educational institutions in the country. With attractive fellowships, the scheme seeks to attract the best talent into research thereby realizing the vision of development through innovation. The scheme was announced in the Budget 2018-19.
