Mangalore, March 6: Mangalore Qazi Thwaqa Ahmed Musliyar has floated a plan of establishing a full-fledged Islamic University within the 20 kms surroundings of Mangalore city and called upon likeminded people and organisations to support his cause.

Speaking to Coastaldigest.com, Musliyar said that there is a need of establishing a huge Islamic institution in this part of India's west coast.

“We should bring up a younger generation of Islamic scholars well-equipped with modern tools of knowledge. An education institution is necessary to realise this long cherished dream”, he said.

The Qazi said that he has decided to take forward the vision of his predecessor Shaheed C M Abdulla Musliyar, who, in one of his letters had expressed the desire of establishing an Islamic institution similar to Darul Huda Islamic University (DHIU) situated on the banks of River Kadalundy at Chemnad in Kerala.

DHIU is affiliated to world famous Al-Azhar University, Cairo, & Jamia Millia University, New Delhi, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, Moulana Abul Kalam Azad National Urdu University, Haidrabad. There are 19 co-institutions of Academy spread all over South India.

The Qazi said that DHIU, which started functioning in 1986, has a unique system of education where a student admitted to the institute after five years of primary education has to go for 12 years of education (2+4+4+2 Preliminary, Special Secondary, Degree, Masters). After 12 years of education the student will come out as Master of Islamic Studies & Arabic language with good command over English and Urdu languages as well.

“We should take the responsibility of creating such an institution in this area upon our shoulders”, the Qazi said, adding that most of the Muslims living across the West coast of India including Dakshina Kannada and Udupi, almost have a common culture and they deserve such a facility here.

“Our planned institution will differ from many traditional Islamic institutions in Kerala. Other institutions offer only religious studies while we are looking to offer a unique curriculum combining religious and material education with emphasis on different languages including English, Urdu and Arabic”, the Qazi said.

Mangaluru, May 6: The Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry has urged the government to consider erstwhile undivided Dakshina Kannada (now DK & Udupi) as one unit for the purpose of movement of people. KCCI president Isaac Vas has written a letter to Karnataka chief secretary T M Vijay Bhaskar in this regard. 

Mr Vas said: Even though the erstwhile Dakshina Kannada district was bifurcated in 1997 for administration purposes, the two districts are actually an urban agglomeration with most of the population residing in suburbs/towns. Office Staff, technical crew and labour of many industries reside in either district and commute daily for work within an efficient transport system.

The present restriction on Inter-district movement in view of the Lockdown is hindering the kick starting of industries and commerce. Workers are deprived of their livelihood and Industry and business owners are finding it challenging to move forward. To add to this, the migrant labour is moving back to their native places further aggravating the situation. Many Industries and Commercial establishments have requested us to take up this matter with the government, he said.

“Hence, we kindly request you to consider these two districts as one geographical area for the movement of people and private vehicles,” he said adding that this would facilitate movement of people for employment and business in either districts of Dakshina Kannada & Udupi.

He pointed out that Bangalore Rural, Bangalore Urban, Ramanagara, Chikkaballapur and Kolar are considered as a single unit as per your order No. RD158/TNR 2020 dt 03/05/2020 (Clause 2(a)).
