State Minority Commission chairman Akhtar Quraishi held a review meeting of 26 departments in district head office with a team of three members. The team members said that matters related to fencing of cemetery, improving the condition of two minor students by Welfare department, getting the drop out students admitted by Education department, providing employment to the unemployed under the scheme of Prime Minister employment plan, conducting the employment fair in March by employment exchange and doing welfare work in favour of minority groups.
Akhtar also directed all the officials of several departments to provide facilities given by State Government to the minority groups. The team also inspected two hostels of minority group’s students and discussed their problems. Meanwhile, a day-long Paigaam-e-Jamuhariyat Conference was organised at Soni complex by National Muslim Manch. In the programme, Akhtar and National Muslim Manch founder Md Afjal were present.
Akhtar said, “To change the condition of the minority groups, education can play a vital role. The society will be aware for their rights and duties. We should try to get the drop out students enrolled back to the schools and the students belonging to BPl should get admitted in different public schools. Government will provide the facility for the free admission of students of age group to 6-14. The drop out students may get diverted from their main path and adopt illegal means of income.”
“The society is still very far from development. By being aware, it can play an important role in the development of the nation,” Akhtar added. On the occasion, Afsar Quraishi, Sitaram Sharma, Md Asraf and many others were present.
