'Save your citizenship through Census 2011'
Says
Federation of Minorities’ NGOs in its appeal to the Muslims
Friday, April 16, 2010 05:24:32 PM ,
Special Correspondent |

Mumbai:
While addressing a press conference, yesterday at Marathi Patrakar
Sang (Mumbai Press Club), the leaders of the Federation of
Minorities NGOs (FMN) – Maul. Mahmood Daryabadi, Dr. Azimuddin,
Maul. Burhanuddin Qasmi, Salim Alware, Dr. SK Abdullah and Iqbal
Memon, have urged all NGO activists, especially those from Muslim
NGOs to fully volunteer their skill and time to the ongoing census
2011 in India.
The leaders have requested all members of the community to note the
followings and take part in the census process.
They said, an enrolment in the census
enables an individual to be 'the citizens' of the country. The
census 2011 will help decide numbers of BPL people in 2013.
Moreover, this census is collecting Photos of above 15 age-group
along with Biometric Identity and the databank collected by the
census will be used by the Unified Identity Authority of India (UIDAI).
If any once fails to get into the data-Bank he will be out of UIDAI
which is an indirect proof of 'Citizenship' for every individual.
Furthermore, all the future 'Planning' and Budget allocations
against particular, community or caste will be based on this
databank
The FMN is launching a statewide awareness campaign in Maharashtra
from today itself through its 100 plus member NGOs to educate common
people to ensure their complete and correct entries during the
census, the leaders said in the press conference. Maulana
Burhanuddin Qasmi said that the census authority of India should
train its enumerators through effective workshops to minimize common
mistakes like wrong spellings of Muslim names and filling in wrong
religion, language or caste etc.
The Federation of Muslims NGOs believes that for effective planning
precise information about religious, social and economic conditions
is essential. Our nation can effectively plan political,
educational, social and economic development on the basis of correct
information. Therefore, social activists must ensure detail entries
of the data correctly.
Every educated Indian must cooperate in this massive task so that we
may know ourselves correctly. Precise data is more important for
minorities and marginalized sections. Caste based census was done
last time in 1931. That is why there is a growing need for it now to
reassure all statistics. If we update caste figures greater justice
can be provided for marginalised people.
Every citizen should be alert about information which is being
recorded. He/she must check and verify the forms which are being
filled by enumerators. No room should be given to dishonest
manipulators who are doing a disservice to nation and truth by
incorrect data entry. The Maharashtra Federation of Minorities NGOs
requests all not for profit activists, through this press conference
to offer their services during 1st May to 15th June for 2011 census
in Maharashtra.
