| Open Gojri Research Centres in JU, KU :Gujjars | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, April 10: Demanding immediate steps to establish “Gojri Research Centre” in University of Jammu, the Gujjars- a main Scheduled Tribe community of J&K pleaded to implement the decision of JU's Council meeting held in 2008, in presence of Chancellor –the Governor and Pro Chancellor –the Chief Minister, in which a full-fledge Research Centre was approved for the development of Gojri Language. The Community also demanded to establish a similar centre in Kashmir University.
Raising the issue with authorities including Governor of J&K N N Vohra and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, the Tribal Research and Cultural Foundation- a Frontal Organisation of Gujjar today said the University of Jammu is deliberately delaying the establishment of Centre without any reason which stands approved by the highest body of University three year back in a meeting headed by S K Sinha the than Governor of the State in presence of the than Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Dr. Javaid Rahi, Secretary of Tribal Foundation we are demanding that the centre should be established at Jammu, the midpoint of the State so that the student of other parts of province could study this subject but the University authorities are bent upon delay it by saying that Gojri Centre will be established at Poonch camps 250 Km away from Jammu which is illogical.
He said that the "Gojri" speakers who constitute 20 to 25 % of the population of State are fighting since 1980 for establishment of “Gojri department” , on prototype of ‘Dogri’ and ‘Kashmiri’ departments, in University of Jammu and Kashmir Universities .
Dr.Rahi said the State Government has already recognized Gojri by including it in the 6th Schedule of the State constitution but till date no University in the State has recognized this language by including it into the University Curriculum and it is the aspiration of lakhs of people who want that due credit should be given to this ancient language which is serving our motherland for centuries together.
He said , we have urged the authorities that there is an urgent need for promoting studies and research in tribal art, culture, tradition, language, custom, and only this Research Centre can full fill all these growing demands and with the help of this Centre the richest tribal traditions of Gujjars could be persevered for all generations to come.
He urged the community leaders in politics to press the University authorities including State Governor, Chief Minister and Vice Chancellor over the issue as the establishment of Gojri Research Centre in Jammu.
