Mangalore, April 15: The Government of Karnataka has earmarked Rs. 406 crore for the welfare of the minorities. Additionally, Rs. 96 crore has been set aside under the scholarship scheme. Minorities should make use of all these funds available to them. Social organizations must play a key role in ensuring that the benefits reach to the deserving candidates, said Zameer Pasha, Chief Secretary of the Minorities Welfare Department of the State Government.

He was speaking after inaugurating the office of the newly formed 'Ullal Central Committee' here on Saturday.

The differences among Muslims are the key reason for their backwardness. In a democracy, differences are common. But they should not become a reason for internal fight. There is a need to live with mutual respect and trust, he said.

Mangalore MLA U.T. Khader was the chief guest. Former president of the Karnataka Minorities Commission Haji Mohammed Masood also graced the function.

U.K. Khader Evergreen, president of the Ullal Central Committee, Councillor Abdul Rashid were present. Faruk U.H. welcomed the gathering. General Secretary Ahmed Bava Kottara delivered introductory remarks. Joint Secretary Mohammed Mustafa Manchila proposed a vote of thanks. K.M.K. Manjanady compered the programme.
