Khan -Director General, Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Mr. Syed Omar Jaleel, IAS., Secretary / Director Minorities Welfare Department and political parties keenly participated in the formation of the society and residential schools.
The Sachar committee in its study found that the literacy in Indian Muslims are very much below the national average and there is a significant inverse association between the proportion of the Muslim population and the availability of educational infrastructure.
Considering the backwardness of the community, the government have launched 71 high-quality infrastructure residential schools for the academic year 2016 - 2017 and plan to launch about 70 more additional schools next year. The spending is around Rs. 80,000 on a student per year.
