Bihar Anjuman marks annual program Parwaz
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 17 - 05 - 2017

RIYADH — Bihar Anjuman celebrated their annual program "Parwaz" at the outskirts of Riyadh where large number of Indian community members and their families were present.
Prominent Indian entrepreneur and President India Islamic Cultural Center Sirajuddin Qureshi was the chief guest. He, while appreciating the activities of Bihar Anjuman, said, "It is not easy to live and work in a foreign land and then you have family back home to support. Yet to go the extra mile to hold hands of the needy and support the underprivileged children in their education is commendable."
He praised Bihar Anjuman for doing good work back home in India to help the weaker sections and its engagement in humanitarian activities by extending financial support to a child's education.
Qureshi talked about the proper communication with government to work on minority community's issues. He talked about his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the new Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath Yogi on concerns on the rising attacks on cow traders and Yogi had assured of cooperation saying ‘licensed traders will be protected.'
According to Qureshi this government has no bias against any community. This annual event also included children's activities and motivational lectures.
Syed Muneer Ahmad, president, Riyadh Chapter said the guiding philosophy of Bihar Anjuman is "to light a candle instead of complaining and despairing about darkness."
He highlighted the Rahbar coaching programs, which are successfully running in eastern India. "It also aims to help children of poor families prepare for engineering, medical, technical courses and other competitive examinations," he said.
He added that Rahbar coaching centers are functional in several districts of Bihar and Jharkand. They are working to prevent dropouts from schools by supporting poor children and helping them gain admission to vocational courses.
Indian businessman and philanthropist Nadeem Tarin said, "We all need to support such good works, keep striving for education and light candles to rid our community of darkness.
"There is no point in cursing the darkness; instead we must provide light. If we can support the education of one child, we should do it; those who can afford to offer education to more children should come forward and do it; if we can establish school, that is even better."
Rashid Ali Sheikh, an Indian businessman and social worker, praised Bihar Anjuman for doing good work, saying that the education of underprivileged children is a noble cause.
Salahuddeen Manzari applauded the efforts of Bihar Anjuman for giving a ray of hope to children through free coaching centers.
Shakeel Ahmed, a Dubai-based IIT graduate and founder of Bihar Anjuman, and senior member Seraj Akram, made presentations on how the organization is working in Bihar and Jharkhand to help street children go to school, eradicate illiteracy among Indian Muslims and offer them basic technical education to earn livelihoods and support their families.
The program was jointly conducted by Mohammed Shaheen and Aabid Hussain.
