Social Welfare Steps to improve education of minorities soon Our Bureau
New Delhi , July 5 THE Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister, Mr Arjun Singh, on Sunday said that the Government would take decisive steps for the welfare and educational advancement of minorities within four months. The Minister said that the measures would be in line with the targets set in the Common Minimum Programme of the United Progressive Alliance. In his concluding remarks at the two-day `Dialogue on minority welfare and education', Mr Singh said that a consensual approach would be followed by his Ministry while evolving strategies for the welfare of minority institutions. In an official press statement, Mr Singh was quoted as saying that the dialogue process, initiated by the HRD Ministry with the minority leaders and institutions, will continue at various levels. Referring to the education of children belonging to minority groups especially of the girl child, Mr Singh said that in the coming days the Government will take some concrete steps in this direction. He regretted that in the recent past several decisions were taken in his Ministry, which were arbitrary and flowed out of "individual vision," giving rise to controversies. Mr Singh said that a new transfer policy of Kendriya Vidyalya teachers has come into effect to ensure that the teachers are not shunted about in a thoughtless manner.
