A question may arise in the mind of the people
as to why IICC is embarking on Civil Services Coaching Programme
& what is the justification for this venture. The answer lies
in the pathetic conditions of Muslim community statistically proved
and put on record by Justice Sachar Committee Report. Muslims are
lacking behind in most of the fields. The worst is the representation
of Muslims in the higher echelons of Administration particularly
Bureaucracy, Police Administration, Judiciary, & Armed Forces.
It is definitely a case of retrospection by all those who have the
cause of Muslim minorities dear to their hearts.
The
representation of Muslims in higher Civil Services over the years
after independence has reduced to the lowest, compared with their
population percentage of about 18%. The statistics reveal that it
is hardly 2 to 3.5%. This causes a feeling of despair in our youths
that they have no role to play in the development and governance
of our country. It is in the interest of the government and the
country that this aspect is given top weightage and attended to
immediately to stop fast creeping dissatisfaction amongst the Muslims.
There
are many NGOs who are making sincere efforts to prepare eligible
youths for the higher Civil Services Exams who are the pillar of
strength of the nation. India Islamic Cultural Centre (IICC) is
taking some positive and immediate steps in this direction to correct
this imbalance in case of Muslim Minority.
There
is yet another factor which inspires IICC to revive the programme
as the same programme was run from this very place in 1984 and continued
until the dilapidated bungalows were demolished and the possession
of land was handed over to IICC which has constructed this magnificent
and imposing building from where Civil Services Coaching Programme
will be conducted. A large number of IAS & IPS officers who
stayed here to pursue their ambitions really feel proud and are
emotionally attached with this place. Many of them have volunteered
to contribute in what ever manner they could to help the Centre
to revive and run this programme.
The
IICC, therefore has decided to embark on this project which is also
one of the aims & objectives of the Centre. |
