PRESIDENT’S REMARKS

President of Anjuman Madrasat -ul- Banat, Dr. Amin U. Khan appreciated this seminar. He told the students about  his experience how he have seen people utilizing such great wealth of knowledge as a playground rather than taking advantage of it. While sharing his remarks he said, People do not value these hereditary places and those living closer to such great wealth are more ignorant of it. If you ask someone’s priority to visit any place, they usually go for a place where they can have fun rather than a place where they can gather information and revive their glorious past. According to him it is necessary to make student realize the importance of such places and also we should try to develop their interest in the great heritage. Moreover he said such kind of activities not only enhances the knowledge of students but also allow the students to understand the true value of such places which is usually ignored.
