            The CM held a high-level review meeting on the Minority welfare at Pragati Bhavan here on Monday. Deputy CM Sri Mahamood Ali, Ministers Sri KT Rama Rao, Sri Etela Rajender, MP Sri Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM Legislature party leader Sri Akbarudddin Owaisi, Chief Secretary Sri SP Singh, Government Advisor Sri AK Khan, Principal secretary (Finance) Sri Rama krishna Rao, Principal Secretary (Municipal) Sri Navin Mittal, Secretary (Minorities) Sri Umar Jaleel, GHMC Commissioner Sri Janardhan Reddy, HMDA Commissioner Sri Dana Kishore, Hyderabad Collector Ms Yogita, CMP Special secretary Sri Bhoopal Reddy and others participated. A review took place on the programme, schemes and projects being implemented for the minorities and measures to be taken in future.

 

            "Minorities in large numbers in the State like the SCs and STs. Muslims are in majority among the other minorities. There is abject poverty among the minorities like in the SCs and STs.  During the separate statehood movement on several occasions I told that once the Telangana state is formed, there would be light in the lives of minorities. After the formation of the state, the government has given top priority for the development and welfare of the minorities and we have increased the budgetary allocations. We are implementing new programmes. We should spend the funds to the minorities as we are doing for the SCs and STs. If all the communities in the Telangana state prosper there would be a comprehensive development. Even if one community lags behind it cannot be called the comprehensive development," the CM said.

 

The CM took the following decisions at the meeting:

 

In all the government programmes that are implemented, minorities should be beneficiaries

 

For the self-employment of the minority youth, without having any link to the bank cent percent subsidy should be given to the units having worth about Rs one to Rs 2.5 Lakh and the Collectors should monitor this.

Action should be taken to ensure that minorities get 10 percent quota in the double bed room programme.

 

Prepare programmes for the minorities living in rural, semi Urban, Urban and Corporation areas as their needs differ from one another.

 

Fill up the Urdu teacher vacancies in the minority educational institutions and get a data on the vacancies.

 

Take proper measures to strengthen the Minority development Corporation, Urdu academy and the Wakf Board.

Develop and exclusive industrial estate and IT Corridor for the Muslims.
