Maulana Azad

A 30-year-old medical student allegedly committed suicide at the Maulana Azad Medical College in Central Delhi, officials said on Tuesday.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that had sought quashing of Ministry of Minority Affairs's decision to dissolve the Maulana Azad Education Foundation (MAEF).

The Centre on Tuesday defended before the Delhi High Court its decision to dissolve Maulana Azad Education Foundation, saying its continued operation was "obsolete" when there is a dedicated ministry holistically executing schemes for minorities.

A medical student allegedly died by suicide in her hostel room today at Delhi's Maulana Azad Medical College, the police said.

The country celebrates Abul Kalam's birthday as National Education Day every year. Mr Azad was the first education minister of independent India.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development had announced on September 11, 2008 about observing November 11 as National Education Day.

The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.

The references to freedom fighter and India's first education minister Maulana Azad in class 11 NCERT textbook were dropped way back in 2013 and should not be linked to the curriculum rationalisation exercise undertaken last year, NCERT said.

References to freedom fighter and India's first education minister Maulana Abul Kalam Azad have been removed from the new class 11 political science textbook by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT).

Senior Congress leader Husain Dalwai has appealed to the Centre to reinstate the Maulana Azad National fellowship and the pre-matriculation scholarship scheme for minority community students.

Congress member K Suresh on Friday termed the scrapping of the Maulana Azad National Fellowship (MANF) scheme as an "anti-minority" move by the Narendra Modi government.

Last week, in a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Minority Affairs Minister Smriti Irani announced the decision to discontinue the Maulana Azad National Fellowship from the 2022-23 academic session, saying it overlapped with various other fellowship schemes for higher education.

In a written reply in Lok Sabha, Minority Affairs Minister Smriti Irani had said the government provided fellowship for higher education through various schemes, including the Maulana Azad National Fellowship, implemented by different ministries or departments.
