New Delhi: A day long round table consultation was organized on 23 November 2013 by Jamia Millia Islamia on two welfare schemes of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, namely “Scheme for Providing Quality Education in Madarasas” (SPQEM) and “Infrastructure Development in Minority Institutions” (IDMI).

The consultation was attended by a large number of participants from 14 states of the country. The participants were welcomed by Dr. Sabiha Hussain, Associate Professor at Jamia Millia Islamia.

The meeting was addressed by Prof S M Sajid, the Vice Chancellor of Jamia, who praised the students of Madarsas for having one of the best minds in the country. He added that it was unfortunate that following 9/11, the Madarsas were all brushed with one stroke and were seen by some as carrying out illegal activities. He highlighted the importance of these Madrasas in providing education to those segments who have, for one reason or the other, remained on the margins of society.

The consultation was chaired by M. Atyab Siddiqui, Legal Advisor of Jamia Millia Islamia and Dr. Tanweer Fazal, Associate Professor at Jamia Millia Islamia, who expressed their gratitude towards all the participants for participating in this very important consultation.

The participants constituted of Members of the Madarsa Board, Members of the Management Committee of Madarsas and teachers involved with the Scheme.

The agenda of the meeting was to discuss the implementation of two welfare schemes as well as the challenges and problems faced by the beneficiaries of the scheme.

Jamia Millia Islamia was handed over the evaluation of the two welfare schemes by the MHRD earlier during the year under the directorship of Prof Azra Razzak.

The report is expected to be submitted by the end of November this year.
