Raw knowledge does not work much, processed knowledge does









Patna, (Bihar Times): In this era of information explosion just providing raw knowledge is not enough. The need of the hour is to disseminate the processed knowledge to the coming generation so that they can digest it and achieve the goal. Just having computer would not work; there is a need of a man to operate it. These were the words expressed by Abhayanand, Additional Director General of Police, while speaking as the chief guest on the occasion of the inauguration of Information and Facilitation Centre of Bihar Rabita Committee, a social organization, at Deep Ganga Complex, opposite to Khuda Bakhsh Library, on Monday.The man, who along with Anand, virtually became synonym to Super-30, was humble eough to share his experiment in the social laboratory of the state. “It was just an experiment which we started six years back. I promise you to do whatever I have learnt in this period. I do not claim that this was the best method, but it was one of the ways to contribute and pay back to the society,” he said.Regarding his interaction with the Muslim community he said that till sometimes back it was only as police officer. But, of late, he got an opportunity to see the other face of the community. “I got answer to several unanswered questions now,” he added.Last year four boys of the community cracked prestigious IIT because of these efforts. He hoped to see some more boys succeeding in the future.Abhayanand, who was earlier this month selected as one of the “50 Pioneers of Change” by India Today, concluded his speech by wishing the Bihar Rabita Committee all the best.Earlier, Maulana Nizamuddin, Amir-e-Shariat, Phulwarisharif, inaugurated the Information Centre, which according to the acting working president of Rabita, Fazle Rab, would cater to the need of the students.Eminent surgeon Dr Ahmad Abdul Hai, Secretary Bihar Rabita Committee, Afzal Husain, directors of International School, Farhat Hasan, Al-Hira Public School (Shahganj), Dr Nazir Ahmad, and Oxfame, Yaqub Ashrafi, were prominent among those present on the occasion.
