An orientation programme was held on Wednesday afternoon, wherein university officials met the first group of 33 volunteers — teachers and staff members who have expressed interest in working on research and documentation efforts. The centre has started developing a catalogue with all relevant published works, conducting interviews with partition victims, documenting oral history and material such as letters written during the time, said officials. We focus on how they started their lives afresh, how they were rehabilitated, and how they preserved their culture, food.” According to a press note shared by the university, the orientation programme was held to discuss the “philosophical and operative content” of the centre which will focus on “Partition, displacement and the tragedy caused by it”.
