Four Hyderabadi women from different fields have passed a resolution that the five acres allotted for masjid as per Supreme Court order of 9 November 2019 be utilized for women education for any Indian girl or woman irrespective of religion, caste, region or ethnicity who is from Below Poverty Line class. The eligibility for this BPL entitlement may be defined appropriately by social-economists.
The statement by these four women comprising Dr Lubna Sarwath, Dr Asra Sultana, Prof Parveen Sultana and Nikhat fatima further mentions that an exclusive Institute of Excellence with Experiential Learning be established in the 5 acres for any BPL Indian girl or woman with free education and residential facility. Apart from school education, college education , university offering all professional courses, including environment, medicine, AYUSH medicine, law, engineering, architecture, agriculture, life sciences, humanities, ethics, arts, vocational courses, be opened with creative and experiential learning methodologies.
As the land was allotted under Supreme Court Order due to demolition of heritage Babri Masjid, the University should be named as Babri Memorial Institute of Excellence with Experiential Learning for Women of India (with a tagline Satyamev Jayate). This institute is the aspirational India and hope of bright future for furthering constitutional goals of India.
Explaining about the name Babri, one of the four women explained that, “ BABRI has been added so it will remind generations to come about the Historical facts of the Masjid and its subsequent demolition and the Supreme court verdict that admitted that demolishing the mosque was a crime but still gave a verdict based not on principles of justice but to appease the faith of the majority”.
Their statement also says about the medium of instruction in the University which would be English but still have a provision for learning of any language of choice from India or foreign.
The funding for the University/ Institute of Excellence would be crowd-sourced from all Indians. All funding would reflect on the website whatever be the amount contributed for the Institute of Excellence with Experiential Learning.
This would be the unique one of its kind in entire India/World and would symbolise the futuristic approach to empowered women and improving educational aspirations for women from financially marginalized sections.
The institute would symbolise and represent a mini India with women and girls from all states of India and from all religions, regions, ethnicities and would be a beautiful garden of harmony as cherished by our freedom fighters.
‘We sincerely feel that it is this kind of approach would send the right positive message for educational standards of India, women of India and for harmonious wellbeing of India,’ concluded the statement.
The four women are respectively a member of the Socialist Party(India), a doctor, a professor and a journalist.
