MoMA Celebrates 11 Years of Seva, Good Governance & Welfare
In a significant milestone, the Ministry of Minority Affairs (MoMA) celebrated 11 years of Inclusive Growth and transformative governance under the leadership of the Modi Government. The event, held on June 9, 2025, was chaired by Secretary Dr. Chandra Shekhar Kumar and attended by senior ministry officials and representatives from affiliated bodies.
The celebration wasn’t just ceremonial—it reflected a decade-long journey of inclusive development, digital empowerment, and policy transparency aimed at uplifting India’s minority communities.
Key Milestones in Service Delivery and Inclusive Growth
The ministry emphasized its core achievements over the past decade, especially its shift toward transparent, tech-driven governance. Some of the key developments include:
-
100% Digitization of Schemes:
All welfare and scholarship schemes are now managed through dedicated digital portals. This step has drastically improved accessibility and reduced corruption. -
Third-Party Audits:
Independent third-party evaluations are now a regular practice. This ensures greater accountability, effectiveness, and real-time improvements in scheme execution. -
Stakeholder-Driven Policy:
Policy frameworks today are not formed in isolation. Instead, they actively incorporate feedback from states, communities, and stakeholders on the ground. This has helped policies become more inclusive and realistic.
Waqf Governance Reform: A Legislative Breakthrough
One of the standout legislative reforms celebrated during the event was the Waqf Amendment Act, 2025. This historic amendment was notified after careful consideration by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) and aims to:
-
Strengthen governance of Waqf properties
-
Promote transparency in property management
-
Safeguard minority community interests
The Central Rules under the Waqf Act are also nearing completion and will soon enhance enforcement of the legislation across states.
Launch of UMEED Central Portal: A Digital Milestone in Inclusive Growth
Another major highlight of the celebration was the recent launch of the UMEED Central Portal on June 6, 2025. This all-in-one digital platform simplifies access to government schemes for minority beneficiaries.
The portal aims to:
-
Unify information on multiple schemes
-
Provide real-time status tracking
-
Empower communities by eliminating middlemen
Dr. Chandra Shekhar Kumar described it as a “leap forward in digital inclusion,” helping to bridge the gap between citizens and government services to provide Inclusive Growth.
Commitment to Viksit Bharat @2047
At the heart of the event was a strong pledge toward building a Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047. Ministry officials, employees, and stakeholders took an oath to continue working tirelessly for equity, dignity, Inclusive Growth and empowerment of every minority citizen.
The Ministry’s continued efforts echo the larger vision of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, making governance not just people-centric but future-ready
