A special attraction of the festival was a short lecture event named ‘ZHCET talks’, in which Professor M M Sufiyan Beg, Principal, ZHCET was the keynote speaker. During his lecture, Professor Beg said that in practical life, we are encountered with the vague situations every now and then and this vagueness can either be in the form of uncertainty or imprecision.

He added that uncertainty is best addressed by probability, while the imprecision is best handled by Fuzzy Logic. “Both probability and Fuzzy Logic augment each other and in no terms, contradict each other,” said Professor Beg adding that different situations demand different tools and it just requires a right tool to be employed at the right time.

Meanwhile Dr Tarushikha Sarvesh (Assistant Professor, Centre for Women’s Studies, AMU), Dr IrfanuallahFarooqi (Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, AMU), Mr Zulfiqar Sheth (Research Scholar, Department of Economics, AMU) and Mr Omar Ghazi (Vice President, Vicharak) were also key speakers on the occasion.

All the keynote speakers and participants commended the initiation of such a talk event in AMU. “Such a platform to share one’s idea on variety of topics was much needed in AMU,” said Dr Irfanullah Farooqi.

Another highlight of the programme was a panel discussion on ‘Role of Students in Mainstream Politics’, in which Professor Asmer Beg, Department of Political Science; Professor Samina Khan, Department of English; Prof M M Sufyan Beg, Principal of Zakir Husain College of Engineering andTechnology and Mr Omar S Peerzada, Public Relations Officer, AMU participated as speakers.

During the panel discussion, Professor Asmer Beg pointed out that ‘students are the future of the country, they will be the future policy makers, and so they must start taking interest in it.’

He added that it is the responsibility of the academia to peak interests in elections, voting and politics because politics starts with individualism.

Professor Samina Khan pointed out that students must start understanding the current political scenario of the country. She encouraged the students by saying that AMU as an academic institution should come together and decide the outlook of future bills of the parliament.

Prof Sufyan Beg, when asked about his opinion about activism and protests in the campus, said that in order to be heard, you do not have to be loud. He added that to have an opinion, one does not need to encourage rowdiness and forcefulness.

He further said that the truth is that the youth in our country lacks awareness of the important issues which is the main reason why students distance themselves from politics.

AMU PRO, Mr Omar S Peerzada appreciated the efforts of the Literary Coordinators, Mohammad Faisal Noor and Saiful Wali Khan, in organizing a panel discussion on politics despite being students of engineering background. He added that this is the need of the hour.

“We need students from different backgrounds, coming together and joining hands in Nation building”, said Mr Peerzada adding that the decisions are made by those in power, while students studying in universities are more likely to be in full effect by the time they graduate and hence, they need to be involved.

Earlier the students speaker were judged by Mr Zulfiqar Sheth and Vaseel K (Cabinet Member, AMUSU). Ms Jyoti Motwani of Women’s College (AMU) for her talk on ‘How much life that we live is of our own’ was given the first prize.

Aligarh, April 29: The Department of Commerce, Aligarh Muslim University in association with The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (Committee for Capacity Building of Members in Practice of ICAI and Aligarh Branch of ICAI) today organised a National Seminar on ‘Cashless Economy: Opportunities and Challenges,’ in which the AMU Vice Chancellor, Lt General Zameer Uddin Shah (Veteran) presided over the function.

On the occasion, the Vice Chancellor said that cashless economy, though a new development in Indian perspective bears a lot of promise in rejuvenating the slowdown in the economic system as it has improved market conditions by strengthening bank’s finances.

He pointed out that the masses have been used to cash system, which is why there were not ready for a cashless economy. “But, now we have to change to cashless economy as the advantages are tremendous,” said General Shah.

The Vice Chancellor further said that cashless economy will empower people with full control of their money through e-transactions and encourage judicious use of money and discourage hasty spending.

Professor Furqan Qamar, Secretary General, Association of Indian Universities (AIU) said that the topic of the seminar is of great relevance in the present times of digitisation and deliberations of today’s programme will open new facets and dimensions.

Professor Qamar pointed out that there is nothing new about the idea of cashless economy as many countries having been working on this idea for the past 50 years.

He elaborated that the narrative for the underlying adoption of cashless payments in developing countries is that of financial inclusion as mobile phones are a widespread and thus, with a little push, more people would escape the tyranny of the cash and join the financial system heaven.

Pointing out to the success of Singapore as a cashless economy, where 60 percent of transactions are cashless and also the success of other countries moving towards a cashless economy; Professor Qamar stated that this concept is becoming a success because the world is experiencing a rapid and increasing use of digital methods of recording, managing, and exchanging money in commerce, investment and daily life in many parts of the world, and transactions which would historically have been undertaken with cash are often now undertaken electronically.

Professor Arindam Gupta, Academic and Joint Registrar, Indian Accounting Association began his lecture by pointing out that it is hoped that the deliberations in the seminar will highlight the core issues of a cashless economy like its scope and feasibility particularly with reference to India.

He added that the Government’s sudden announcement to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes in circulation, though welcomed by many across the country, left people in the lurch and in a state of confusion. “The narrative of the demonetisation move had been projected as a war to root out the menace of black money, corruption and counterfeit currency,” said Professor Gupta adding that there is no doubt that a cashless economy will stop the flow of black money but there was a need a cautious implementation of the move, which didn’t happen. 

C A Mukesh Singh Khushwah, Chairman, Committee for Capacity Building of Members in Practice (CCBMP), The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India said that even though it is important to move to a cashless economy but at the same time, it is necessary to understand the intentions behind this move. He said that we should ponder on why the Government issued 67 notifications in 50 days after November 8, 2016.

While delivering the welcome address, Professor Nawab Ali Khan, Dean, Faculty of Commerce and Convener of the programme said that it is a matter of immense pleasure that AMU Vice Chancellor, General Shah has given us a chance to organise this National level seminar, the idea of which stemmed from the Government’s move to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge based economy.      

C A Avan Kumat Singh, Chairman, Aligarh Branch of CIRC of ICIA proposed the vote of thanks.

On the occasion, a souvenir of the Seminar was also released by the Vice Chancellor, the Chief Guest and the Guests of Honour.
