(Siasat News)The way the welfare schemes are being implemented in A.P. through Minorities Finance Corporation is worth emulating. Following this system, Minorities in Manipur could also be benefited. Mr. Mohammed Abdul Naser, Minister of Agriculture of Manipur after meeting Dr. Mohammed Ilyas Rizvi, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Minorities Finance Corporation expressed this opinion. Dr. Rizvi apprised him of the functioning of the Corporation.
Mr. Naser told that after studying the welfare schemes of Govt. of A.P., he would prepare a comprehensive plan for the development of Minorities in Manipur. Dr. Rizvi also gave a brief account of employment generation through Rajiov Yuva Kiranalu Scheme, resident schools for Minorities, and for the marriage of destitute Muslims girls. Etc.
Mr. Naser told Dr. Rizvi that every year 4 to 5 Muslim students get admissions in medical colleges in Manipur. Dr. Rizvi gave him the list of 1,000 Muslim students who sought admissions in Medical colleges in A.P. State Govt paid their fees.
Mr. Naser applauded the functioning of A.P. State Minorities Finance Corporation especially its online registration system for scholarships.
He wondered that such a large amount is allocated in State budget for fees reimbursement and scholarships to the students belonging to Minorities.
