According to Fakhruddin Mohammed this was the first time in India many organisations from different verticals are gathering on one platform. A diversity of topics including from modern education in seminaries and moral education in modern institutions to artificial intelligence and science and technology will focus on community empowerment while exploring new vistas.
"Challenges faced by Muslim women including securing their future while striking a balance with the family will also be discussed." He said that the reason of backwardness amongst Muslims is lack of educational facilities or opportunities. Because of economic conditions, the school dropout rate is high, he added.
Dr Fakhruddin also said that during the 4-day conclave eminent personalities from different walks of life for their yeomen services like Prof A M Pathan, K M Arifuddin, Justice Siddiqui and others will be honoured. He added that MESCO Convention Centre will be rechristened Dr Hyder Khan Auditorium after eminent cardiologist, Founder-President of MESCO and Convenor of the IDB Central Panel for India (Jeddah).
"The Muslim community has great potential that is untapped and undiscovered due to under-utilisation of educational provisions. The conclave is aimed at changing this situation. The session on Science and Technology and Artificial Intelligence that will be held at Sultanul Uloom Education Society (SUES) is an important pointer in that direction", Dr Fakhruddin said.
