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
He adds: “The Union government decided last year that the Centre would pay salaries of Urdu teachers in minority-concentrated areas. An order on this was to be issued by state governments. But, no where except Maharashtra this has been done.”
In 1980, a high-level committee was constituted by the Union government under the Chairmanship of Dr Gopal Singh. Based on the committe’s findings, a 15-point programme was launched in 1983 to hasten the socio-economic development of the minorities.
In its early stages, the focus was on communal riots, representation of minorities in services and ensuring the flow of benefits to the targeted groups. In 2005, this programme was revised. On June 22, 2006, the revamped plan was approved by the Union Cabinet. The emphasis was now on education, modernising madarsa learning, healthcare facilities and recruitment of minorities in the services.
But five years on, little has changed for the minorities. Most initiatives taken under the programme have at best been symbolic in nature.
One of the agendas at the Delhi government’s last Cabinet meeting was “Action taken/proposed to be taken by various departments... with regard to implementation of Prime Minister’s New 15-point programme...”
B&E accessed a copy of the Cabinet note. It revealed that the Delhi government has done virtually nothing for the minorities in the field of education with regard to points 2 and 3 of the 15-point programme – improving access to school education and modernising madarsa education.
The note states, “The Directorate of Education, government of NCT of Delhi has informed that 10 additional classrooms have been constructed in Buland Masjid School, Shastri Nagar, District North-East, 14 classrooms (Nand Nagri-04, Chauhan Bangar-06 and Seelampur-04) have been constructed in MCD schools. It was further informed that four classrooms are under construction in Rouse Avenue, District-Central, New Delhi. It is proposed to open Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidaylaya in a rented building in Mustafabad, District-North-East”.
The Cabinet note is completely silent on modernisation of madarsa education. Another point of the programme is greater resources for teaching Urdu. With regard to this point, the Cabinet note states, “It was also informed that nine posts of PMT and six posts of TGT in Urdu are vacant. These posts have not been filled in spite of a request to Urdu Academy.”
