Report:
To mark the centennial celebrations of the Aligarh Muslim University, the Federation of Aligarh Alumni Associations (FAAA) organized a grand International Moshaira (virtual) where 13 poets from different part of the world participated. Janab Iftikhar Arif presided and Perwaiz Jafri sahib conducted the Moshaira with their best abilities and performances. The live telecast of the Moshaira on Zoom was attended by 2141 people from 22 countries of the world. Moshaira was telecasted on FacBook also, where over 9000 people were able to watch. The Moshaira started on time (11:00 CST) and continued for almost four hours. All the poets and the listeners enjoyed the mushaira thoroughly till the end and shared their positive feelings in the form of dad-o-tahseen and online comments. The delivery of pictures and sound to the listeners was flawless and awesome. All the poets presented their best verses in tahat and tarannum, which were highly appreciated by the audience, throughout the Moshaira.

Future Plan:
FAAA will keep both, virtual and face-to-face options, into consideration. Based on COVID-19 situation in the world and resumption of national and international transportation services, decision will be taken in the early 2021.
