Lamenting the poor participation of Muslims in the field of education and training, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday said his government is committed to take ‘sincere’ steps to improve the scenario.
"Muslims have not participated in education and training in the country to the extent they should have been involved," Singh told a press conference.
He said a committee under Justice Rajindar Sachar has given stress on education and training of Muslims. The Prime Minister's 15-point programmes has been launched which stresses, among other things, on improving the education standards of the Muslims, Singh said.
"Lot more has to be done. We will proceed with full sincerity and honesty in this direction," he said.
As per the findings of the Sachar Committee, 25 per cent of Muslim children in the 6-14 age-group either never went to school or else dropped out at some stage.
