Abolition of compulsory languages in varsity: Guv approached

An RTI activist has sought the intervention of Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik in resolving the issue of abolition of three compulsory languages from the curriculum of the Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti Urdu, Arabic-Farsi University.
The RTI activist, Saleem Beig, in his complaint to the Governor said the varsity's executive council had in 2012 decided to introduce Urdu, Arabic and Persian as compulsory languages, but the present management reversed the decision without the executive council's consent.
Beig said the management's decision was contrary to the idea with which the institution was set up.
