Central Government of India funding Urdu newspapers, institutes and online training and nothing for Sanskrit!

UNI URDU SERVICE

The Urdu Council run by Central government of India (created by Congress party) provides financial assistance to small and medium Urdu newspapers for availing Urdu service of UNI. This helps Urdu press to reproduce the news and views in Urdu without undergoing the arduous task of translation. Subsequently this scheme was transferred to BPU/NCPUL and became operational since 1.1.1995.

Presently 96 Urdu dailies are connected to this national hook up, with the fast changing transmission technology. The service has been computerized and special Urdu software (filter) developed.

50% of UNI (Urdu) subscription is provided as subsidy by the NCPUL to individual newspaper and 75% in case of J&K. Annually a grant of about Rs. 25 lakhs is provided for this service



The subsidy in this regard is released to U.N.I. Urdu Service. While Sanskrit being the classical language of India, no measures have been taken by central government since independence to revive it, however, government has spent crores of rupees for Urdu development.

UNI Urdu Teleprinter service was conceived in the year 1992. The initial block grant of Rs. 25 lakhs was released by the Government of India through the Department of Education, Ministry of HRD, to the UNI. This grant was meant for purchase of necessary equipment and the Urdu teleprinters.


This scheme is directly monitored by the Council. U.N.I. is giving utilization certificate to the Council after debiting the amount in the respective news paper's account.

Through this service the standard of Urdu dailies comes closed of national dailies and has increased their circulations among the Urdu readership due to variety in their news and views items.

Below are the big list of Central Government schemes for Urdu which were created by Congress and they are still intact with abundant funds:

The Grant-In-Aid (SCHEME OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR PUBLICATION OF MANUSCRIPTS, SCHEME OF BULK PURCHASE OF BOOKS / PERIODICALS / JOURNALS, SCHEME OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR SEMINAR / CONFERENCE / WORKSHOP / MUSHAIRA and SCHEME OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR PROJECTS) applications may be submitted from 1st May to 31st May and 1st September to 30th September of every year, for consideration.
