MUSLIMS IN INDIA-PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT

Yesterday the Planning Commission has reported a disturbing statistic about the state of education among Muslim Indians.
*12 % Muslim children do not go to school even today.
*Rate of illiteracy among rural muslims is 50%
*Rate of illiteracy among urban muslims is 33%
*Only 3% of muslims go up for graduation against a national average of 8%.

I am from Hyderabad where we have 3 muslim medical colleges,33 engineering colleges and innumerous minority educational institutions.I am associated with Madina Group of Institutions which is in the field of muslim education for past 25 years.

We could reach out to only a small segment of muslims and am worried after seeing the above statistics.I invite all concerned Indians to share their experiences and thoughts to bring educational awakening in our community.

Any workable strategies suggested will be implemented by our organisation to spread knowledge and bring about socio economic well being of our community
