Syllabus
At present we have arrangements to teach Urdu through Hindi and English. The learners are
expected to read, write and understand Urdu after having completed this course.
Stage - I
The lessons for learning Urdu have been arranged in a book entitled URDU SCRIPT THROUGH
ENGLISH with easy and simple instructions. After receiving the admission form duly completed
alongwith the required postal order, the student will get the First book, URDU SCRIPT
THROUGH ENGLISH. The student can learn the text upto page 15 himself, or with the help of
someone who knows Urdu. Learning to write Urdu is necessary alongwith its reading. After
learning upto page 15 the Head should be informed of the time spent in learning these pages.
The student should also inform the Head about all the difficulties which he came across while
learning the script. Thereafter the student should study the book following instructions
supplied alongwith the book. He will have to send written assignments according to instructions
to the Head, who will make an assessment of his progress. Further instructions for
improvement will be sent, if necessary. After receiving all the assignments, final evaluation will
be made, and if the work is found satisfactory, the second book will be sent.

The student, after having finished the first book, will receive the second book. The second book

write a letter to the Head in URDU, expressing his views about the lessons of the second book.
His/her letter will be indicative of the level of his/her achievement. On receiving all assignment
and the letter, if the work is found satisfactory, the next book will be sent.

After having covered the second stage satisfactorily, the student will get the third book which
contains short stories and poems by classical aand modern writers. At this stage the students
