Empowering Community & Society.

 Project by: Armeen Anvar Memon and Mohammad sharif 

Kutch,:
With the establishment of Smart Jamaat in the city and declaring of three isolated Masjid bodies as (Smart Jamaat)E-jama’aths, the old dream of a small group of awakened people of Kutch district is on it's road to realisation.

The initiative can be described as the first step towards empowering a neglected, downtrodden, opportunity-less, marginalised and unorganised community of the region.

One of the salient characteristics of the Muslim community of this country in general and rural areas in particular is the lack of information and awareness. Realising this fact, the  Foundation, which came into existence 2 years ago, recently put forward a step to establish an information-sharing unit, maintaining constant internet link with all the members of Muslim community of Kutch district through Masjid bodies.

The SMART JAMAAT is committed to maintain constant contact with all (Smart Jamaat)E-jama’aths of the district. Further, it will always keep a track on all the development schemes and programmes of both the state and central governments and provide information to all the (Smart Jamaat)E-jama’aths of the district via internet.

According to Armeen Memon, the president of Foundation, her  organisation is striving hard to declare the entire district as (Smart Jamaat)E-jama’ath zone by the end of 2017, so that the data of each Muslim individual can be accumulated and reviewed by an accountable and responsible centre.

An (Smart Jamaat)E-jama’ath would collect the data of each and every individual who comes under its jurisdiction, feed them into the computer and share them with the SMART JAMAAT. How many homes and families are there in a particular jama’ath? Who is the head of a particular family? How many male and female members are there in a family? What are their qualifications and abilities? How many of them are employed and what kind of job are they doing? How many are graduates and how many of them are unemployed? Are they beneficiaries of the development schemes and programmes of government meant for minorities? How many of them own a house and how many families are leading their lives as tenants? If a particular family owns a house, does it have proper records and documents? Whether all the members of above 18 year age posses voter identity card or not? How many of them are pan card holders? ...all these details would be updated by an (Smart Jamaat)E-jama’ath.

The SMART JAMAAT would peruse all these details and guide the jama’ath to overcome its shortcomings and problems. It also would inform and explain the members of the jama’ath in time about the new development schemes of the government and guide them how to derive benefits from them.

'''“The work-sphere of a governing body of a jama’ath should not be confined to the development of mosque and madrasa buildings. It should exert all its efforts for the cause of overall progress of the community”, says Armeen.'''

In order to make community members realise their responsibilities, Armeen says, her foundation will organise education guidance camps, information camps, and the like, to explain about the community development plans of the state and union government.

foundation believes that the jama’ath of a Masjid is the right place for the sharing of information. And, if a jama’ath becomes an (Smart Jamaat)E-jama’ath, it can easily share all the information through internet.

With the aim of bringing the entire Muslim community onto the platform of (Smart Jamaat)E-jama’ath, the Foundation is eager to declare at least 10 mosque-bodies as (Smart Jamaat)E-jama’aths in the next few months.

'''“Lack of creativity and information is one of the main reasons for the backwardness of this community. It is our responsibility to awaken it. If everything goes according to the plan, we hope (Smart Jamaat)E-jama’ath would Change the picture of this Community,’’ inshaallah.'''

Current situation of Jamaat.:-

The challenge ;

India is known for its diversity. The peaceful coexistence of different religions, castes, languages and cultures remains the hallmark of our great heritage. This pluralism also brings a great degree of vibrancy to our democratic system by guaranteeing equal opportunities of growth to every single citizen of the country. It is an accepted fact that Muslims are the most backward community in terms of literacy, socio-economic conditions, and political representation. Umpteen number of reports and surveys by various governmental and non-governmental agencies have unraveled the depth of deprivation and backwardness of Muslims over the past 60 years. It is also a fact that only concerted and sustained efforts at both governmental and non-governmental levels can ameliorate the condition of this community.

Review about Muslim’s situation in India:

  Muslims are around 170 million in India.

  54 per cent of Muslim children in rural areas are not going to school.

  Only 1.2 per cent pursues post-graduate studies.

   38.5 percent Muslims in Urban India live below poverty line.

  Muslims bear the brunt of globalization as most of their traditional jobs are now extinct.

These questions arise in the minds of youth and we have to make

arrangements to guide our youth in this regard and help them to shape

their career. Regular orientation programmes have to be arranged and

information centres should be opened in maximum numbers. There are

many useful higher education courses in our state and country, which help

to get higher posts with attractive salaries. Hence, there is need to provide

students guidance about such courses based on his/her interest, attitude

and capacity. Arrangements should be made to conduct awareness

programmes at the Jamat level.
