IAS Coaching Centre In Tamilnadu for Muslim Girls

Encouraged by one of its students making it to the IAS and several others clearing the examinations conducted by the Tamil Nadu Public Services Commission (TNPSC), the Azhagiya Kadan IAS Academy has decided to launch a coaching centre exclusively for Muslim girls in Chennai.

But the academy will not encourage the girls to opt for the IPS. “We are launching the academy in response to the request from girls from our community. We will train 25 girls in the first batch, for which the entrance test will be held on August 17,” said Arif Ahmed, its administrative officer.

Moulana S. Shamsudeen Qasinin, Chief Imam of the Makka Majid on Annasalai, launched the academy in 2012 to help make up for the poor representation of minorities, especially the Muslims, in the administrative services. Mohammad Ashraf, one of its students, cleared the IAS examination and around 10 students passed the Group-I and Group-II examinations conducted by the TNPSC recently.

Mr. Arif said all 25 girls would get free training, accommodation and food for one year. “Those who clear the preliminary examination will get further coaching.”

The academy has arranged accommodation at our Majid at Choolai Medu. The entrance examination will be held in Chennai, Coimbatore, Tiruchi, Vellore, Tirunelveli, Krishnagiri and Madurai.

Asked why the academy would not encourage the girls to sit for the IPS examination, Mr. Arif said the uniform in the police service would make it irksome for the girls to adjust. 

“While our aim is to encourage them to enter the civil service, we also need to take into consideration our religious sentiments. We will provide them a perfect Islamic environment.”

“Merit will be the criterion for selection, but the economic background of the students will also be considered,” he added.

Not only was his role in the freedom struggle an outstanding one, as free India’s Prime Minister for 17 years he became the symbol of the hopes and aspirations of a resurgent India.

About I Stand With Ahmed - Today Viral About Ahmed

14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed and his homemade clock have sparked passion and support from thousands of people who believe he was unfairly arrested after bringing his invention to his classroom at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas.

His innovation has also caught the eye of tech companies that are interested in helping stoke Mohamed's interest in technology.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spoke publicly about Mohamed's story, and invited him to come to his company's headquarters:

You've probably seen the story about Ahmed, the 14 year old student in Texas who built a clock and was arrested when he…

Posted by Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday, September 16, 2015

Google has invited Mohamed to the company's annual science fair, where kids between the ages of 13 and 18 compete for scholarship money:

Hey Ahmed- we're saving a seat for you at this weekend's Google Science Fair…want to come? Bring your clock! #IStandwithAhmed

— Google Science Fair (@googlescifair) September 16, 2015

Twitter didn't stop at a tour — the company wants the high school freshman to intern with them:

Hi @IStandWithAhmed, we building things at @twitter too. Would you consider interning with us? We'd love it — DM us! #IStandWithAhmed — Twitter (@twitter) September 16, 2015

Well Ahmed, that's now an invite to Facebook, a seat at the Google Science fair, an internship at Twitter and an invite to the White House. Keep on rocking.

MacArthur High School is a public high school in Irving, Texas. It is named for the American General of the Army Douglas MacArthur.

A 14-year-old American boy arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school has become the face of a global campaign supporting scientific curiosity, having been asked to drop by the White House, visit the Facebook headquarters and intern at Twitter!.

The boy from Irving in Texas is now at the centre of a movement supporting scientific curiosity and temperament among school-going children and denouncing any sort of racial profiling.

The hashtag #IStandWithAhmed has trended worldwide on Twitter and Obama tweeted in support of Mohamed from his official handle, saying: “Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science...”

US President Barack Obama and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg are among those who have come out in support of Ahmed Mohamed, a teenager of Sudanese origin. His story went viral on Wednesday after media in Texas reported about his arrest and suspension from school earlier this week.

Mohamed was taken to a juvenile detention centre after teachers and police officers said they believed his clock could have been used in a bomb.

Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.

— President Obama (@POTUS) September 16, 2015

Celebrities and common people alike, came out in support of Mohamed, tweeting in their good wishes and support.

Assumptions and fear don't keep us safe—they hold us back. Ahmed, stay curious and keep building. https://t.co/ywrlHUw3g1

Hi @IStandWithAhmed, we ?? building things at @twitter too. Would you consider interning with us? We'd love it — DM us! #IStandWithAhmed

I can't imagine if be working @nasa today if anything like this had ever happened to me. http://t.co/OajWwPXchB #IStandWithAhmed

— Bobak Ferdowsi (@tweetsoutloud) September 16, 2015

Facebook CEO Zuckerberg said a post on the social networking site, “You’ve probably seen the story about Ahmed, the 14-year-old student in Texas who built a clock and was arrested when he took it to school. Having the skill and ambition to build something cool should lead to applause, not arrest.”

Zuckerberg added that the “future belongs to people like Ahmed. Ahmed, if you ever want to come by Facebook, I'd love to meet you. Keep building.”

Mohamed’s family said the boy, who makes his own radios and repairs his go-kart, had spent 20 minutes before bedtime on Sunday to assemble the clock using a circuit board, power supply and other items. He was then suspended for three days after taking the clock to school on Monday.

His father suggested officials reacted the way they did because of the boy's name and faith.

“He just wants to invent good things for mankind,” Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed told the media. “But because his name is Mohamed and because of Sept. 11, I think my son got mistreated.”

Police in Irving later said Mohamed will not be charged with “possessing a bomb hoax” because there was no evidence he meant to cause harm.

What started out as a simple science experiment has snowballed into a worldwide campaign denouncing racial profiling. Looks like Mohamed will end up having the last laugh.

Thank you fellow supporters. We can ban together to stop this racial inequality and prevent this from happening again pic.twitter.com/fBlmckoafU

— Ahmed Mohamed (@IStandWithAhmed) September 16, 2015

Ahmed Said: 'Don't let people change who you are' says student inventor Ahmed Mohamed to others who have faced problems like him.

"I built the clock to impress my teacher but when I showed it to her she thought it was a threat to her', said Texas teenager Ahmed Mohamed, the student inventor who got arrested recently for taking a home made digital clock to school which was mistook as a bomb.

Support from all quarters poured in, including US President Barack Obama and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg speaking in favour of Ahmed and ultimately the police had to drop all charges. After his release, a much relieved Ahmed spoke to the press that had gathered outside his house.

"So I guess everyone knows I am the person who built a clock and got in a trouble for it," were Ahmed's opening lines. Ahmed said "it was really sad" that the teacher got the wrong impression and eventually he got arrested later that day for it. Ahmed, now being hailed on social media as the student inventor, expressed his wish to go to MIT and TAMS for studies and also mentioned that he was thinking of transferring schools post this incident.

Ahmed also had a very important message for all those students like him. "I will try my best to not just help but to help every other kid in the entire world who has a problem like this," said Ahmed and added, "Don't let people change who you are. Even if you get consequences for it, I'd suggest you still show it to people because you need to show them your talent."

Post the news of his arrest, there has been an outrage on social media with the hashtag #IStandWithAhmed trending on Twitter and Facebook. Obama congratulated 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed on his skills and issued a presidential invitation, in what amounts to a pointed rebuke to school and police officials who precipitated his arrest. "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great," the president tweeted.

Mark Zuckerberg added, ""Having the skill and ambition to build something cool should lead to applause, not arrest. The future belongs to people like Ahmed. Ahmed, if you ever want to come by Facebook, I'd love to meet you. Keep building," and invited Ahmed to Facebook office.
