ABOUT URDU ACADEMY LUCKNOW
The Uttar Pradesh Urdu Akademi was established by the Government of Uttar Pradesh, for promotion of Urdu language in January 1972. The Akademi was established for the development and enrichment of Urdu Language and Literature.
The Akademi works for the benefit of the Urdu knowing public through its schemes such as giving scholarships to students form class VI to the Ph.D. level; to reprint the classical books of merit in Urdu; to give financial aid to the old and the needy Urdu poets, writers, journalists and calligraphers; to hold seminars and symposia on the current topics concerning promotion of Urdu language and its literature.
Besides, the Akademi organizes Annual Mushaira on the occassion of National Festivals. Urdu lovers have always shown keen interest in the activities of the Akademi but it has been a problem for the Akademy to keep in touch with them on a regular basis. It has also been difficult to involve the Urdu lovers community in formulating new schemes for development of the language. It is hoped that this web site of the UP Urdu Akademi shall facilitate such an interaction and involvement of Urdu lovers in the functioning of the Akademi. No language can be developed unless the language is capable enough to provide the means of livelihood to its learners. An effort that empowers Urdu in this direction is the need of the time. Akademi has made some efforts in this direction as would be evident form the schemes and programmes given on this web site and they would be able to enrich these development efforts through their suggestions through this web site or otherwise.
