Respected
Dr. Khan Saheb,
Re: Share of Minority Communities in various sectors.
It is a matter of great joy and pleasure that unprecedented growth in performance under multiple socio economic
sectors, took place in our State during 2007-2008. This has been elaborated in detail in the book entitled “Uttar Pradesh:
One Year of Development and Progress” published by the Information & Public Relations Department of the State Government.
Some of these programs are directly traceable to the ultimate beneficiary and category of district; minority
concentration district, or otherwise, like:

of Rs.8.67 lakh (Ref: Page 93)

It is expedient in the interest of Social Democracy that the share
of Minority Communities and Minority Concentration Districts, be found out in these efforts made by the State Government to
achieve its pious mission as expressed by our Honorable Chief Minister in these words
“….. to create a social order based on equality by changing the
present inequitable social system wherein the interests of all sections of society (SARVASAMAJ) are safeguarded.”
So that inequities and skews which might have crept in, be corrected in time for the coming period of implementation of these
schemes, as well as others on a similar pattern.
I have devised forms for the purpose of collection of data, which I am sure you will find useful. I am attaching
these herewith for your needful.
May I request you then, to kindly collect this information from the concerned departments and present it in
the next meeting of the State Level Committee for Implementation of Prime Minister’s New 15 Point Programme for Welfare
of Minorities and the State Level Committee for the Oversight of Implementation of Multi Sectoral Development Plan in Minority
Concentration Districts.
With Regards,
Yours truly,
(S.M. Masood Azhar Rezvi)
