“SABKA SATH, SABKA
VIKAS” is a Commitment for Development of all Sections of Society: Shri Mukhtar
Abbas Naqvi
The
development of every section of the society is “Rashtradharm” of the
Government. “Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas” is not a political slogan but it is a
commitment to take light of development to all sections of the society. This
was stated by Shri Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, the Union Minister of State for
Minority Affairs and Parliamentary Affairs while delivering the valedictory
address at the annual conference of State Minority Commissions here today. He
said the steps taken with this commitment for socio-economic-educational
empowerment of Minorities have started yielding results at grass root level.
Shri Naqvi said that the Central Government has taken various steps for empowerment of Minorities which include programmes like “Prime Minister’s new 15-Point Programme”, “Multi-Sectoral Development Programme (MSDP)”, “Mission Empowerment”, “Sikho Aur Kamao”, “Usttad”, “Hamari Dharohar”, “Manas”, “Nayi Manzil”, “Nayi Raushani”, scholarship for students, “Padho Pardes”, “Jiyo Parsi”. These schemes are a strong step to provide light of development to the last person of the society.
The contribution of minorities in nation building is “truth of history and reality of present”. The Minorities are equal contributor in country’s development and there is a need to strengthen this feeling, he added.

The
one day Annual Conference of the State Minorities Commissionsbegan here
today.Inaugurating the Conference Dr.Najma Heptulla, the Union
Minister,Minority Affairs said that it is the culture that unites not the
religion. The culture is the thread that puts flowers of all religions in to a
garland, she added. Emphasising the focus of the Central Government being
inclusive growth with motto “SabkaSaath,SabkaVikas”, the Minister said to
discriminate means to deprive of development. In a federal system, the Centre
can plan and devise schemes but the implementation lies with the states, she
further added. The Minister asked the conference to discuss ways for monitoring
the implementation of various schemes. Dr. Najma urged participants to be more
responsible, vigilant and willing to evolve a system for State Centre
cooperation and not competition. The spirit of cooperationandsupport in
identifying areas in need of development and monitoring implementation of
various schemes can immensely benefit all stakeholders. She said that Ministry
is focusing on empowering minorities through education and skill development
and asked for supporting this endeavour.
