Ahmad Ashfaque Karim is one of the renowned educationists of Bihar.

The decision of government to set up private universities all across the state was much appreciated by the educationists & students. It was a long time pending decision that finally hit the ground. People have different views on this matter. However, the founder of Katihar Medical College has his own opinion.

Ahmad Ashfaque Karim is one of the renowned educationists of Bihar. He was the one who has pioneered state’s first Minority Medical College at Katihar. Karim Sahab has been vocal for the urge of more education institutions in Bihar.  He opines, “It is the power of education that empowers the downtrodden.” Private universities would open new opportunities to the students.

Late academic session is a common phenomenon in state universities. Students enrolled themselves in three year degree courses but it took almost double with five to six years to finish the studies. Late conduction of exams & declaration of results is the biggest problem that students are bound to face. However, with the advent of these private universities the problem could be solved. Since, private universities throughout the country have a better track record of academic sessions, student can hope for regular academic sessions in these universities.

Students that come from low or middle income background generally opt for short term vocational courses so that after completion of the course they might help their family financially. Earlier it took much time than expected and therefore the basic purpose for opting them get defeated. Now, students have a choice.

Increasing water levels in Kosi, Gandak & Bagmati rivers in Bihar

   
Even after several years of the catastrophe in 2008, the residents in Kosi could not have forgotten that horrified day when their lives shattered in just one moment. It has taken years to people to recollect themselves & start afresh. Once again people are terrified with that same fear of flood which had ruined their lives.
Increasing water levels in Kosi, Gandak & Bagmati rivers has threatened the population. Many districts of Kosi region have been flooded including Araria, Purnea, Katihar, Saharsa & Khagaria as well. The rivers are flowing above danger levels at several points & the embankments are also not safe.
Ahmad Ashfaque Karim, the Vice President of Lok Janshakti Party has called the society to come forward and contribute in the rescue of Kosi masses. Govermnet machinery is doing their job but it is the time to do something for humanity. Kosi masses are crying for help. They have limited resources. A large number of people have started fleeing from the place in panic as they are not assured of their well being. It is our responsibility to help the people in calamity. Our little help can make a big difference.
