Union Minister for Minority Affairs Shri
Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that the Ministry of Minority Affairs has been putting
effective efforts for “promotion and progress” of meritorious youth from
Minority communities.
Shri Naqvi felicitated the youth belonging to
the Minority communities who have cleared civil services 2017 with the help of
Minority Affairs Ministry’s free-coaching programmes in New Delhi today. Stating
that the Minority Affairs Ministry, in collaboration with reputed
institutions/organisations of the country, is running free-coaching programmes
for civil services, medical, engineering, other administrative services and
banking exams for meritorious youths from Minority communities, he said this is
to ensure that not even a single deserving youth from these weaker sections is
deprived of best coaching and a chance to get a better job.
Shri Naqvi said the youth, successful in the
UPSC, are a “role model” for youth from Minority and other weaker sections of
the society. He said that there is immense talent in minority communities,
especially Muslim youths and efforts
have been undertaken to create such an
environment which would give them confidence. Prime Minister Shri Narendra
Modi's Government has given an atmosphere to protect and promote talent of
youths from Minority communities which has resulted in such a large number of
youths of the Minority community being selected in the top administrative
services.
Shri Naqvi said that the Central Government’s
policy of "Development with Dignity”, without any discrimination, has
ensured that this year, for the first time after the Independence, record 131
minority communities’ youth including 51
Muslims have been selected in Civil Services. Shri Naqvi said that last year
also, 126 youths belonging to minority communities, including 52 Muslims, had
been selected in the prestigious civil services. He said that last year, 1099
people were selected in the Civil Services which include 52 Muslim youths, it
was 4.5 per cent of the total selected. In percentage terms, 5.15 per cent of
the total 990 successful candidates are Muslims this year. This year, there are
6 Muslims including 3 women, who have secured ranks in top 100.
The Minister said that the Ministry of Minority
Affairs has been running a large scale free-coaching programme for meritorious
youths belonging to notified minority communities preparing for UPSC
examinations. Through various institutions and organisations, the Ministry has
been running coaching programmes such as “Nai Udaan”, “Naya Savera” for
minority youths preparing for Civil Services, other UPSC examinations, medical,
engineering and administrative examinations. During 2017-18, 105 youths from
the notified minority communities who qualified prelims of Civil Services
Exams, have been provided financial support under the “Nai Udaan” scheme.
An awareness campaign is also going on for the
youths belonging to minority communities to ensure they participate in these
examinations, through television channels, newspapers and different
institutions and organisations. This year, free-coaching will be provided to
more than 15,000 youths from across the country. After overwhelming response
and encouraging results of free-coaching schemes during the last three years,
these free-coaching schemes more easy, convenient, accessible and encouraging
for meritorious youth. “Nai Udaan” and “Naya Savera” schemes have been revised
during last year and rate of financial assistance on qualifying UPSC prelims
has been increased from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh. Under “Naya Savera” programme,
the Ministry of Minority Affairs has also been working with reputed
institutions and organisations to provide free-coaching to Minority youths.
