Education key to break chains of backwardness: Congress MLC
Hyderabad: Congress MLC Amer Ali Khan on Tuesday called upon the parents of Muslim students to encourage their children to pursue and excel in higher studies. He urged them to serve as brand ambassadors of the community through their children's achievements, thereby inspiring future generations.
"Education is the key tool to break the chains of backwardness and empowering the Muslim community. When discussions arise about the community's backwardness, lack of education is often cited as the primary reason. But today, looking at your achievements, I am confident that the community will overcome all obstacles through education," MLC Amer said at a programme where 1,500 students from the BPC stream of the board of intermediate education, who scored over 90%, were felicitated.
Among the, 43 students who scored between 99% and 99.6% were awarded cash prizes and medals for their outstanding performance.
Other speakers at the programme appealed to the parents to support their daughters' education, stressing that girls often outperform boys. They stressed that girls should be allowed to pursue higher education and should not be married off at an early age.
