Welcoming the State representatives, Shri Vivek Mehrotra, Secretary, Ministry of Minority Affairs, emphasized the need to have a dedicated Department in all the States/UTs to deal with the issues of the welfare of Minorities as in the absence of such an arrangement in some states, there occurs a problem of coordination. He also said that the cooperation between the Centre and the States/UTs on the subject of the welfare of Minorities should be further strengthened. Shri Mehrotra said that the funds released to the States/UTs for various schemes of the Ministry of Minority Affairs should be passed on to the concerned districts/ executing agencies without delay so that the welfare of the Minorities is not compromised due to this delay.

Conference of State Secretaries/ Principal Secretaries for the welfare of Minorities
ESM welfare: We have a Secretary for ESM Welfare and also an ESM Commission has been promised. The ESM however seem to be relegated to the lowest order of priorities. The Welfare of Minorities seems to be on the right track hopefully.
