Quick Update on Bihar Anjuman’s Activities

1. TCN “Organization of the Year Award 2010” for Bihar Anjuman?: Bihar Anjuman bagged nominations, in both the individual (personality) category as well as in the organization category, competing with the giants among the Muslim personalities and Organizations. It got nominated for the Organization of the Year Award (launched simultaneously with the personality award), an encouraging milestone for a young organization yet to achieve much. TwoCicles.net, an online newspaper, focusing on the Muslim-related news invited nominations for individuals and organizations that brought about tangible difference in the lives of Indian Muslims. Their recognition of Bihar Anjuman, by nominating it in both categories, is a remarkable achievement for Bihar Anjuman. Although the BA moderators appeal to people for their hands, not for votes, this kind of recognition by a global media organization can make pooling of resources easier by raising the confidence of well-wishers. This should help speed up the march of BA towards fulfilment of its vision to educationally empower the Muslim community. Clcik to vote for:

2. 66% of Grade-10 students from RAHBAR Coaching make it to Diploma Engineering: What’s the future of the 100% pass-outs of 10th Board BSSEB exam?

admission into the Diploma Engg course of MANUU, thus turning their fates around, from imminent drop-outs before 10th board to confident engineers, alhamdolillah! They were coached for the entrance exam in Urdu medium for just 10 days. Urdu medium books could not be found in Patna, but brother Jawed Ahmad’s (secy of RAHBAR) arranged it from Delhi and sent through courier to reach Patna just-in-time. Similar coaching was also arranged for about 15 days, in Darbhanga, and 3 boys got through, taking the number of successful candidates from RAHBAR Coaching Centres to 7 (seven).
A campaign is underway to fulfil their financial needs for the entire education of 3 years in MANUU. This justifies the need for the kind of intervention undertaken by Bihar Anjuman to spread further, and further proves that drop-outs can indeed be eliminated.
