NEW DELHI, May 11: Newly appointed chairperson of the Education and Women Welfare Committee (EWWC) of Ministry of Minority Affairs, Government of India, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi convened the first meeting of the EWWC after assuming office here today.
The newly nominated members of EWWC after assuming their responsibilities today at the Committee’s Saket office in the Union Capital attended the meet. Dr Darakhshan convened the meeting of the full committee and discussed the proposal points of the committee as set by the Union Government.
While chairing the meeting, Dr Darakhshan emphasized on the need of vocational and technical education of the minority community throughout the country. She fixed the responsibility for every member to gather inputs and data from different states regarding the status and implementation of educational and welfare schemes for minorities. She said that modern education for youth and welfare measures for women of the minority community will change the state of affairs of the community and the country at large.
Dr Darakhshan said that she was happy to be part of this big mission as the present Central Government believes in practical positive development of the minorities in India deviating from the appeasement policy based on hollow slogans of the previous regimes for sixty years. She said that inclusive development of all communities was the real strength of India and PM’s slogan `Sabksa Saath Sabka Vikas’ was the driving force for the country. She said when a large number of minority youth qualify for Civil Services, it indicates that future of the community is bright.
Dr Andrabi said that she will work hard to realize the hope of the community and the trust Dr Najma Heptullah and the Prime Minister has posed in her. Later Dr Darakhshan met the Union Minister of Minority Affairs, Dr Najma Heptullah and informed her about the Committee’s deliberations.
