90 districts identified for minorities’ programme by Manas Dasgupta

Union Law Minister M. Veerappa Moily on Saturday said the Centre was committed to implementing all recommendations of the Rajinder Sachar Committee on minorities’ welfare.

In a brief chat with journalists, on the sidelines of the 19th “International educational conference” of the American Federation of Muslims of Indian Origin here, Mr. Moily said the Centre had already identified 90 districts with a large concentration of minorities where it would implement the 15-point programme for them and solve their economic and other problems.

Earlier, speaking at the conference, where Justice Sachar was present, the Minister said whatever little the government was doing for the minorities was their right and privilege as citizens, and no charity. Gujarat Governor Kamla Beniwal presided over the inaugural ceremony of the two-day conference.
