A 15-Point Plan has been in Place for Decades for the Uplift of Muslims but it has Led to no Visible Improvement in The Community's Lot
Beyond political speeches and public posturings lies the truth. The ruling class has paid lip service to the community for decades and large sections of India’s Muslims have struggled to keep up with a nation on a rapid growth curve. Even the Prime Minister’s 15-point programme, devised to eradicate the problems of the minorities, hasn’t been of much help.
Says Nafees Ansari, Former Principal of Zeenat Mahal Government Senior Secondary School, “In our country, formation of committees is the only solution. These committees take forever to diagnose an ailment. The process is so lengthy that by the time a treatment is prescribed the ailment either takes a new shape or becomes incurable.” She further adds, “The 15-point programme is no different. The suggested remedies remain on paper.”
Dr. Zafar Mehmood, Chairman, Zakat Foundation of India and former bureaucrat, echoes the same sentiment. He was associated with the Sachar Committee and is now aggressively pursuing the implementation of minority welfare schemes. “Solutions are available. The problem is at the bureaucratic level. The bureaucracy does lacks the need will,” he says.
Dr. Mehmood says: “There is need for proper monitoring of schemes. The ministry of minority affairs has now appointed state-level monitors in the hope that this would speed up implementation.”
Praising the work done in Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh, Dr Mehmood says: “Excellent work has been done in this district but the situation is rather disappointing in the rest of the country”.
