Delhi Minority Commission to organise seminar on minorities

With the purpose of highlighting responsibility and contribution of minorities as an ingredient in the overall development and growth of Delhi, a seminar will be organised on “role of minorities” on March 11.

The purpose of the seminar is to highlight the significance of the minority communities to the welfare and development of Delhi.

Chief Minister of Delhi, Shiela Dixit will be the chief guest and address the seminar, whereas many other speakers will discuss on the current issues relating to equal education, social welfare, employment and housing.

The seminar on role of minority will be organised under the Delhi government’s Bhagidari monitoring system, which was launched by the Chief Minister Shiela Dixit in February this year. For the purpose of launching the Bhagidari monitoring system, Dixit said, “It would help in streamlining the Bhagidari redress and monitoring mechanism and strengthening the faith of citizen groups in the movement.”
