Answer given by the minister

MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (DR. MURLI MANOHAR JOSHI)

(a) & (b) : As per the information received form the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, that ministry gives grants-in-aid to the Central Waqf Council under a Non-Plan scheme for the specific purpose of advancing loans to Waqf Boards/Waqf institutions for the development of urban Waqf properties in accordance with prescribed guidelines.

No funds are directly allocated by this Ministry to any Madrasa Board or Waqf Council. However, the National Council for the promotion of Urdu Language (NCPUL), an autonomous organization of this Ministry, under its approved scheme for the promotion of Arabic/Persian, disburses in some cases funds to voluntary organisations (including Madrasas) for administrative convenience through the concerned Madrasa Board/Waqf Council/ Minority Welfare Department.

(c) & (d) : The relevant information is at Annexures-I & II.

The states to which no funds were released did not send comprehensive proposals within the guidelines of the schemes.
