Empowerment without Appeasement Policy
During the launch, Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi mentioned that during the last 4 years, the Modi Government’s “Empowerment without Appeasement” policy has ensured that students belonging to poor and weaker sections of Minorities are benefitted from various scholarship programmes.
The beneficiaries include about 1 crore 63 lakh girls. The school dropout rate among Muslim girls, which was earlier more than 70 percent, has now been reduced to about 35-40 percent due to awareness and educational empowerment programmes.
In last one year, thousands of educational institutions of all Minority communities including Madarsas, have been included in the mainstream education system by connecting them with "3T-Teacher, Tiffin, Toilet" initiative.
