مولانا یعقوب مجددی بھوپالی
افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ مہینے حضرت مولانا محمد یعقوب صاحب مجدوی بھوپالی نے انتقال فرمایا، موصوف کو حضرت مجدد الف ثانی ؒ سے نسبی اور خاندانی تعلق بھی تھا، وہ اس دور کے عارف کامل اور نامور شیخ تھے، ان کی خانقاہ ارشاد و ہدایت کا مرکز تھی اور اس سے بڑا فیض پہنچا، راقم کو بھی ان کی خدمت میں حاضری اور کئی مجلسوں میں شرکت کی سعادت حاصل ہوئی معلوم ہوتا تھا علم و عرفان کا چشمہ ابل رہا ہے اور دلوں کی کھیتیاں سیراب ہورہی ہیں، میری حاضری کے وقت حضرت کی عمر اسّی (۸۰) سال کے قریب رہی ہوگی، خلقتہً بھی نحیف تھے، لیکن روحانی قوت کا یہ حال تھا کہ گھنٹوں پورے جوش کے ساتھ تقریر و ملفوظات کا سلسلہ جاری رہتا تھا اور یہ روزانہ کامعمول تھا، آپ کے ملفوظات و مواعظ علم و عرفان کا گنجینہ ہیں، جہاں تک معلوم ہے ان کو قلم بند کرنے کا اہتمام نہیں کیا گیا، مولانا علی میاں نے کچھ مجلسوں کے ملفوظات قلم بند کئے تھے، جو الفرقان میں شائع ہوچکے ہیں، اگر تمام ملفوظات و مواعظ قلم بند ہوکر شائع ہوگئے ہوتے تو علم و عرفان کا یہ گنجینہ ہمیشہ کے لیے محفوظ ہو جاتا، ان کی وفات سے ارشاد و ہدایت کی ایک نورانی شمع گل ہوگئی، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کے مدارج بلند فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، جون ۱۹۷۰ء)
Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS) was used to assess the delivery of support to education initiatives in the municipality of Banga, Aklan, Philippines. The samples were determined using multiple application of stratified random sampling approach. In accordance with the Philippine Statistical Authority's Data on Census Population and Housing for 2015, barangays having a bigger share of the population contributed more respondents to the 150 targeted participants. Following the inclusion criteria, the probability respondents were chosen using the Kish Grid. Pre-numbered questionnaires were distributed, with odd numbers targeting male responders and even numbers targeting females. The following criteria were used to evaluate the respondents' assessments: awareness, availment of the program/service, satisfaction, and need for action. Furthermore, interviews were conducted to better understand and investigate the respondents' thoughts, behavior, and perspectives. The reasons for their reaction were also obtained. The data was provided in percentage as well as frequency distributions. The study inferred that awareness on alternative learning system and/or special education program should be improved since it is the only program that attained low rating for awareness. Most of the residents were not able to avail education programs because they have no household member who attends school. Majority of the respondents who availed the services were satisfied. However, scholarship and other assistance programs to students may be enhanced to improve service delivery. It is highly recommended by the citizens to improve accessibility to scholarship programs and other forms of financial assistance to students.
