Inspiration from History

The inspiration behind the name of our centre stems from the renowned Burmese Muslim scholar, researcher, and foreign policy expert, Lord U Nu. He earned the esteemed title of "Shwetaungthagathu" and was appointed as the Governor of Ramree City in the Arakan State by Bodawpaya, the 6th King of the Konbaung dynasty. This honour was bestowed upon him in recognition of his remarkable achievement in collecting a wide array of medical and literary books during his mission to British India.
