ڈاکٹر اعجاز حسین ؍ ڈاکٹر مسیح الزماں
گزشتہ مہینہ میں ڈاکٹر اعجاز حسین سابق صدر شعبہ اردو الہ آباد یونیورسٹی کا انتقال حرکت قلب بند ہوجانے سے مظفرپور میں ہوگیا، جہاں وہ ممتحن بن کر گئے ہوئے تھے، ان کی میت الہ آباد لائی گئی، اپنی ملازمت سے سبکدوش ہونے کے بعد بھی لکھنے پڑھنے کا شغل جاری رکھا تھا، اہم اور مفید کتابوں کے مصنف تھے، جن میں مختصر تاریخ ادب اردو اور نئے ادبی رجحانات وغیرہ زیادہ مقبول ہوئیں، اپنے شاگردوں میں بہت مقبول رہے، ان کی وفات سے اردو ادب ایک بہت ہی لائق مصنف اور خدمت گزار سے محروم ہوگیا، ان سے کچھ ہی روز پہلے ڈاکٹر مسیح الزماں ریڈیو شعبہ اردو الہ آباد یونیورسٹی کی بھی وفات اچانک ہوگئی، اردو کی مرثیہ نگاری ان کا خاص موضوع تھا، ان کی عمر وفا کرتی تو اس صنف میں ان کا ادبی کارنامہ بڑا قابل قدر ہوتا، وہ پروفیسر مسعود حسن رضوی سابق صدر شعبہ اردو لکھنؤ یونیورسٹی کے داماد تھے، جن کے لئے اس کبرسنی میں یہ سانحہ بڑا ہی جانکاہ ہوگا۔
دعا ہے کہ خدا اردو ادب کے ان دونوں خدمت گزاروں کو غریق رحمت کرے، آمین ثم آمین۔ (صباح الدین عبدالرحمن، مارچ ۱۹۷۵ء)
Pakistan is the agrarian country and its last economic data shows the growth in the agriculture production. More than 60 percent population is living in rural areas of the country and is engaged with agriculture activities. While the agro based industry is linked with agriculture sector and use agriculture raw material for production of final goods. The agro based industry provides income and employment generation opportunities. Therefore, the agro based industry is beneficial for the economic development of the area. For this study the 384 sample has been selected from the district Matiari and statistical Chi square test result highlights that the agro-based industry is beneficial for the development of the rural area.
Management and Business education industry is considered to be in the era of mushroom growth as variety
of programs is offered throughout the world, and similar is the trend of admissions and enrolments in such
schools. However, this expansion has made business education much commercial. Today business schools are
somehow being criticized for not fulfilling their roles and responsibilities with much rigor and concern,
particularly in imparting practical and pragmatic knowledge hence; the quality and value offered to the stake
holders become questionable. The researcher therefore considered it important and researchable to explore
that what business schools are all about? What education system they are following to impart practical
knowledge? And are they being able to satisfy their stakeholders or not? How much industry should be
involved in edification process to enhance the practicality and relevancy? The researcher has also
recommended a possible mode of industry and school partnership namely pragmatic business edification
(PBE) Model. The dissertation also collected responses of the stakeholders about proposed partnership, using
focus group survey.
The study was descriptive in nature. Interviews, Questionnaires and Focus group methods were used to collect
data. 20 key informant interviews were conducted to gain a better understanding of the education quality and
system. In addition, a total of 200 students and alumni’s were approached for the survey asking about the
effectiveness of business schools in preparing them for the industry. The focus group study included twenty
(20) professionals from education and other industries of Pakistan, exploring the potential benefits and
possible hindrances in implementing proposed model.
Research showed that there is an unsatisfactory perception of the education system design that management
institutions are following at present. Currently the business education is partially fulfilling the requirements
of industry and it is imperative for business schools to look for new, enhanced, and more effectual ways of
imparting business knowledge. By working with industry business schools can intensify their efforts to fulfill
employer needs. Therefore school-industry collaboration opportunities are needed to be adequately and
effectively explored.
