A Mohammed Aslam, Commissioner of Minorities Welfare Department of Tamil Nadu, has said that Muslims have failed to give importance to education at the basic level. He was speaking at a state-level orientation programme on government welfare schemes for the Muslim community that was jointly organised by the Federation of District Muslim Women Aid Societies, Federation of Tamilaga Masjids Ayikkia Jamaath and the South India Education Trust at the SIET College on Sunday.
Aslam said that there are a lot of schemes introduced by the government, especially for education for the economic empowerment of minorities, especially women, but they are not capitalised effectively.
He elaborated on the various education loans that minorities can avail. Stating that the level of education among Muslim women is very low compared to other communities, he stressed on the need to promote higher education for them. He said that most people fail to utilise welfare schemes introduced by the government for the upliftment of minorities. Padma Bhushan Moosa Raza, IAS, Former Chief Secretary of the Government of Jammu & Kashmir also presided over the programme.
