Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit launched the Delhi Minorities Commission and organised its first outdoor session near Fatehpuri Masjid here. Known as the 'Delhi Minorities Commission at your Doorstep', the new initiative would help minorities get their problems solved on the spot. The people would feel encouraged to place their suggestions. The outdoor sessions of the commission would be regularly organised in minority-dominated localities. Addressing a gathering, Ms Dikshit said the commission would reach out to the people. Chairman of the commission Kamal Faruqui and members Pushpinder Singh and Arnold James besides Fatehpuri Masjid Imam were also present on the occasion.
The Chief Minister assured the members of the minority communities that her government would provide all possible opportunities, including education, to them. ''Urdu and Punjabi academies in Delhi will also work in tandem with the commission,'' she added. The Madrasas in Delhi would be able to impart modern education, including computer education, with the help of the government. Ms Dikshit underlined that the commission would work in the direction of developing competence and bring confidence among the monorities members in Delhi. She called upon the commission to chalk out an action plan for the coming six months. ''It is probably the first time in our country that a commission will be regularly organising outdoor sessions under its new initiative,'' she added. The Chief Minister said the commission has presented a vision document for effective working and planning so that the benefits should reach the minorities.
