Kolkata: West Bengal
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday said her government will
provide the requisite infrastructure to enable the minorities to
increase their representation in government services.
"I do not want to hear that the minorities are not represented
enough in the service sector. We will create the infrastructure
for your education and training and you will have to utilise them.
I want to see you in higher posts," she said.
The Sachar Committee report revealed that Muslim representation in
government service in the state was much lower than their share of
population.
Inaugurating the new building of the Aliah University here,
Banerjee said that apart from establishing training centres
especially for the minority community, a large number of madrasas
(Islamic seminaries) will be opened in the state.
"I have a dream to create many madrasas. I want to see you grow
and develop so long as I am here. I am not here to stay for
always. So I urge you to utilise all the governmental facilities
and ensure your development," she added.
