Is Maharashtra Govt. planning to launch new schemes for Muslim’s upliftment?
Maharashtra Minority Ministry has issued a Government Resolution (GR) commissioning the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) to conduct a study on the Muslim community's social, economic and educational development in 56 cities in Maharashtra that have a substantial Muslim population. However, the GR has not been signed by the Chief Minister and head of the Minority Ministries, Eknath Shinde. But the question has been raised about the need for such studies in Maharashtra in continuation with current benefits. The department sanctioned Rs 33 lakhs for the study.
