پروفیسر عبدالقوی دسنوی مرحوم
افسوس، پروفیسر عبدالقوی دسنوی اس دنیا سے رخصت ہوئے، اِناﷲ وَاِنا اِلَیہ رَاجِعُون۔ ۷؍ جولائی کو وہ بھوپال کی خاک میں آسودہ خواب ہوئے تو اردو کی دنیا صرف ایک شریف، متین اور نشیط صاحب قلم سے ہی محروم نہیں ہوئی، ایسے مخلص، فعال بلک مجاہد انسان کو کھوبیٹھی جس کا تعلق اس جنس سے تھا جس کو اب نایاب ہی کہا جاسکتا ہے۔
دیسنہ ان کا وطن تھا، سادات کا یہ گاؤں بہار کیا پورے ہندوستان میں ممتاز اور منفرد تھا کہ اکثر باشندوں نے تعلیم قدیم و جدید دونوں کو یکساں اہمیت دی۔ کم ایسی بستیاں ہیں جن کی خاک سے مولانا سید سلیمان ندوی، سید ابوظفر ندوی، سید نجیب اشرف ندوی اور سید صباح الدین عبدالرحمن جیسی شخصیتیں اٹھیں اور علم و قلم کے بادل بن کر ملک کے مختلف خطوں کو سیراب کرگئیں۔
پروفیسر عبدالقوی بھی اسی سلسلہ ابروسحاب کا ایک حصہ تھے۔ بچپن، وطن میں ضرور گزرا جہاں مدرسۃ الاصلاح سے تعلیم کا آغاز ہوا، ۴۲ء میں وہ آرہ کے ہائی اسکول کی آٹھویں جماعت میں تھے لیکن پھر وہ بمبئی آگئے جہاں ان کے والد پروفیسر سید سعید رضا ندوی درس و تدریس کی ذمہ داریاں انجام دے رہے تھے، قوی صاحب نے بمبئی کے مشہور سینٹ زیویر اسکول میں اعلیٰ تعلیم حاصل کی، بمبئی گویا وطن ثانی تھا لیکن قدرت نے ان کے لیے بھوپال دارالاقبال کی سرزمین اس طرح مقدر کی کہ ۶۱ء میں سیفیہ کالج کے شعبہ اردو کی خالی جگہ کے لیے ایک درخواست اور اس کی قبولیت نے ان کو ’’بھوپال والے عبدالقوی دسنوی‘‘ بنادیا، بمبئی کے ہنگامہ خیز اور پرشور ماحول سے نکلے تو کوہساروں، بیابانوں کے نشیب و فراز اور ان کے دامن میں بکھرے زندگی کے تازہ و شاداب جلوؤں اور پرسکون ماحول کو پاکر محسوس کیا...
The present study investigates the socio-economic problems of the labors in Brick Kilns which are situated in the vicinities of district Hyderabad (Rural). Eighty three respondents from twenty five brick kilns were selected for interview.

Thesis Title: The locus of motivation and achievement of university level students in Pakistan. This study was undertaken to know about the locus of motivation and achievement of the university level students and to find out inter-relationship of male and female students. In order to collect data one questionnaire was used which was developed and tested by Dr. Russell F. Waugh, Edith Cowan University, Australia, with his permission to gather data for motivation and achievement. Its validity was confirmed by the group of experts and reliability was calculated through Cronbach Alpha on 100 students not included in the sample. The value of Cronbach Alpha comes out as 0.78. Then results of different students were collected to analyse the data to compare male and female students with their responses. The questionnaire had three main aspects of motivation, linked with two response sets (What I aim for and What I actually do), and an ordered set of subject response categories (none or only one of my subjects, in some, though not most of my subjects, in most, though not all, of my subjects, in all or nearly all of my subjects). Only seven universities were included in the sample which were willing to participate. Pearson Product moment correlation and t-test were used for analysis of the data. It was concluded that the majority of the university level students had the highest motivation level. It is also interesting fact that gender difference was found in the motivation level of male and female students. Data collected through questionnaire from 1267 students was analysed and tabulated. Three different departments (computer science, management department and social science departments) were chosen to collect data from male and female students. It was also concluded that there was positive correlation between motivation and academic achievement of the university level student and motivation and achievement level of male and female students was higher than that of female students. Another interesting fact was that from all these three aspects constituting the locus of motivation i.e. striving for excellence, desire to learn and personal incentives, the predominent aspect was personal incentives.
