13 lakh kids in Delhi never go to any school
Is it not a shocking news? Education and Health, the two sectors
on which the progress of humanity entirely depends are grossly neglected in
majority of the States of India. This has resulted the Country to remain
in the bracket of developing countries though under developed pockets exist in
many part of the Nation. On this backdrop, the minimal services
being provided by the Kerala Muslim Welfare Association through its Health
Charity Wing is really laudable. On the same lines of Scheme to Provide
Quality Education in Madrasas (SPQEM) under the Ministry of HRD, the
Association has initiated the program for poor Madrassa students way back in
2004 and still continuing now with the active participation of all the medical
and para-medical professionals joined the Association with a banner of Health
Charity Wing of the organization.
The students of four Madrassas of the most neglected areas of Mehrauli
have been selected for implementing the educational program by the group along
with further value addition by way of taking care of their health, hygiene and
social issues including nutrition, comfortable stay with appropriate clothing
to escape the wrath of extreme climatic conditions of Delhi.
Of late, the group has also started a Monthly Clinic to do the health
profiling of these students to focus on disease prevention and awareness
generation not only for the students, but also to the common public through
them on long term basis.
The group has, in addition to imparting education on English, Science,
Maths and life sciences, undertaking a number of other health and progression
related activities like training in Basic Life Support including
Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, First Aid Training on management of accident
and trauma victims, creating awareness on hygiene, Road Safety etc.
The group is also actively involved with DNipCare for rendering
Palliative Home Care and OP Clinical services for suffering patients.
A couple of hundred Madrassa students getting the light of education and
health care is nothing but only a drop in the ocean. However, it really matters for that even
single student who might have been sent to this distant located Madrassas in
the National Capital Territory of Delhi from the far away States of Assam,
Bihar, UP, West Bengal etc just for the sake of reducing the burden of feeding
many hungry stomachs back home. So
KMWA-HCW, continue the good work as a duty towards God and the future
generations as even if these students reach nowhere, their progeny will
definitely see the school steps and get educated
well because of your concerted efforts.
