E-management training programme for Waqf boards
February 15th, 2010 - 7:47 pm ICT by IANSBhopal, Feb 15 (IANS) In a step towards e-management of properties affiliated to Muslim shrines and mosques, the Minorities Affairs Ministry Monday began a three-day training programme here to familiarise Waqf board officers with computerisation and digitisation of records.
The programme will train Waqf board officers in digital accounting, auditing and budgeting, an official statement said.
Twenty-seven officers from 17 state Waqf boards are participating in the programme at R.C.V.P. Norohana Academy of Administration and Management in the Madhya Pradesh capital.
The ministry said the programme was “an important milestone towards the computerisation of all the state Waqf boards and creating e-management”.
The plan for computerisation of records of Waqf properties was launched by Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid in New Delhi Dec 22 last year.
“It will introduce implementation of a web based centralized application module for Waqf management. The scheme is being implemented by National Informatics Centre (NIC) on turnkey basis under the supervision of the Central Waqf Council,” the statement said.
There are 29 Waqf boards in the country constituted by the respective state governments and more than 3.5 lakh properties affiliated to shrines and mosques are registered with them.
The government aims to optimise the income from the Waqf properties and has introduced various measures in this direction.
The Bhopal training programme was inaugurated by Sundeep Khanna, director general of the academy.
