A Muslim delegation comprising heads of madrasas, community leaders, women and youths from various areas of Delhi on Monday met Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit seeking her support for the educational uplift of children and skill development of the youth of the minority community in Muslim-dominated areas in Delhi.

Mr. Amir Abidi, educationist and social worker who led the delegation said, "the Muslim concentrated areas of Delhi need holistic efforts involving sincere community members especially mothers and youth, Govt. education officials, and madarsas."

One of the objectives of MESDU would be to offer bridge coaching for dropouts and out of school children, vocational training, and career guidance and support for youth that should be facilitated at community managed "Coaching and Guidance Centres" funded and supported by Delhi Government, Abidi said.

The madarsa heads sought support from the Government in developing general education in the madrasas. The delegation asked for teachers or funds to teach subjects like Hindi, English, Maths and Science in madrasas. Provision of computers along with trainers and, libraries and learning centres in the Madarsas was also stressed.

For the Government schools, the delegation has demanded more teachers and better learning in the light of Right to Education act. The delegation also stressed on introducing Urdu as a subject. Some parents, mainly mothers shared their struggles in dealing with school management and requested for the establishment of School Management Committees with an equal representation from the community.

According to Abidi, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit expressed her happiness at the fact that the delegation not only came forth and shared its challenges but also suggested actionable solutions. She has promised to call a meeting of the concerned education department officials soon after the MCD elections and assured that all possible support will be extended.
