SIO Impact | Scholarships

2011-09-21T11:48:00.001+05:30

http://sio-india.org/zones/maharashtra-south/741-sio-impact-.html

Alhamdulillah SIO Ms South Zone is working for different Minority scholarship for last 6-7 months. (e.g. Merit cum Means, Post Metric, Pre metric and other private schemes). SIO MS South Zone has come up with a Scholarship Cell which looks after all matters related to scholarship issues. Very Important issue was taken up recently. Presenting some excerpt from the same.

The Issue
For the year 2011 state Govt. declared 48157 Minority post metric Scholarships (worth 40 crores). State govt made it compulsory for online from for current year to speed up the process of issuing the scholarships; however they neglected the following facts/errors

1) www.dhepune.gov.in site do not open readily.
2) 15000 junior and senior colleges in state while site shows 2000 only.
3) Rural areas do not have net facility.
4) Form does not load readily.
5) After filling the form either form goes out blank or gives print error.

Some other hitches which troubled the students a lot were the gross negligence, inefficiency, lack of co-ordination among different education directorates in State and irresponsibility, non-cooperation by Junior/Degree/PG College Principals, short period between issuing GR and last date of filling forms, Less/limited or no publicity of schemes.

On the top of everything making online scheme compulsory while Centre never made it compulsory, have floundered this good scheme on the ground.

STEPS TAKEN BY SIO MS Zone

11 Aug. 2011
Was the start date for filling form. Till 13th Aug. only 450 forms were received by Govt.
Br.Md.Ali(Campus Sec.MSZ) and Shaikh Nadeem R. (convenor,sclrshp cell) met Dr. P.R Gaikwad (Director Higher Education,Mah) discussed the issue and submitted the Memorandum.

Press Conference on Scholarship Issue

2011-09-13T13:34:00.001+05:30

Mumbai(10.09.11): A press conference was organised for Scholarship issue.

Central Govt. has fixed a target of 48,157 Post Matric Scholarships for meritorious XI to PG students belonging to economically weaker sections of minority communities (Budhist, Christian, Muslim, Sikh and Parsi) so as to provide them better opportunities for higher education, increase their rate of attainment in higher education and enhance their employability.

However, in the fifth year of its implementation, though not population proportionate but short funds and physical targets are earmarked, the gross negligency, inefficiency, lack of co-ordination among different education directorates in State and irresponsibilities, non-cooperation by Junior/Degree/PG College Principals have floundered this good scheme on the ground.

Earlier, in the year 2009-10, against a physical target of 64,400 scholarships, only 24,000 number of scholarships were sanctioned and fund for 40,000 number of scholarships was not utilized in the State. Same kind of story is being repeated by Directorate of Higher Education under the reason of on-line scholarships (although it is not mandatory by Central Govt.)

Till now, hardly 20 thousand applications are uploaded against the target of 48,157 Scholarships and that too are not scrutinized/verified by the concerned colleges. Hence, S.I.O. has decided to agitate Statewide with the objective to implement this scholarship scheme cent percent, making this scheme hassle-free, student friendly and more effective.

If needed, S.I.O. will approach the Court of Justice for this cause and irresponsible and negligent authorities/Principals will be treated with law of land for there is no other way.

S.I.O. demands strongly to extend the last date of submission of Forms instead of 15th September to 15th October 2011. Alongwith online, offline forms in printed proformas should also be accepted for convenience. Due wide publicity in local Urdu/Marathi News papers is essential regarding extension of last date.

Renewal applications should be collected upto December (as notified by Govt. of India). All ATKT students should be considered eligible on par with other scholarship schemes for Backward students.

Maximum annual income limit should be enhanced from 2 lakh to 4.5 lakh as it is implemented for Maulana Azad National Fellowships for minorities. All eligible minority students should be awarded by scholarships with 100% Fee reimbursement as practiced for Backward communities.

The Holy Month of Ramadan has started. This month is indeed a 30 days Campaign of ‘Self Development’. One important feature of the ongoing term of SIO is ‘Self Development’. This month is a Golden opportunity for all of us to promote our personality from all dimensions and march towards the ideal one. Here are some important points for your reminder.

⧫ In the companionship of Quran: The most distinguishing feature of Ramadan is the ‘Relevance of Quran’ in this month. All of us should try to spend most of our time in the companionship of Quran. Its recitation, memorizing and thorough understanding should be primarily focused. Make Quran an ‘Everyday Guide’.

⧫ Strong Relationship with Allah: Not only Farz (Obligatory) Prayers… but do perform more and more prayers to seek the close and firm attachment with Allah.

○ Specially don’t miss a Tahajjud Prayer for a single day (you can easily devote some time for

Tahajjud before Sahar).

○ Try to search Lailatul Qadr. Perform different individual or collective Ibadahs in these nights.

○Memorize and perform some Azkar and Duas regularly.

○Repenting (tauba & Astaghfar) should also be a regular act in this month.

○It is preferable that every member should perform Aitikaf at least once in organizational life.

Encourage and make favorable atmosphere for our cadre for Aitikaf at unit level.

⧫ Good Habits for a Powerful Personality: The process of Personality Reformation requires promotion of good habits. Habits cannot be developed without ‘Continuous Struggle’. Ramadan is best opportunity to promote good habits and avoid bad ones. Identify your good / bad habit which you should develop/ avoid (e.g. anger, sleep, sexual desires, misuse of tongue, carelessness about Fajar Prayer, Passiveness etc)

⧫ Cooperative spirit for Society: Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had called Ramadan as ‘Shahrul Mavasat’ (Month of Sympathy and Help). Apart from ‘Attachment with Allah’, Ramadan also requires ‘Strong Attachment with Society’. Through our Infaq, Zakat and other physical contribution, we should try to help poor, needy and deprived people of the society. Remember this Social approach is as important as ‘Talluq Billah’.

⧫ Role of Da’ee as well: Spread the message of Quran and Ramadan to as many students and youth as you can. Ramadan blessings should not be confined to our individual affairs.

⧫ Avoid Excessive Eating, Sleep and Shopping: Lastly, the biggest obstacle in getting benefitted from Ramadan is excessive Eating, Sleep and Shopping. Unfortunately they have become the most important features of Ramadan especially among the youth community. Beware of them.

Discover a ‘New Self’ within you. May Allah make this Ramadan a Milestone in our life….

Wassalam

Mohd Azharuddin

President, SIO of India

SIO Plans for Garib Nagar Students

2011-06-21T10:30:00.000+05:30

NGO to help Garib Nagar students improve score

Garib Nagar’s fire-ravaged slum in Bandra (East) saw only five of the 39 Class 10 and 12 students clear the board exams this year. But the organisation that helped them after their books and hall tickets were charred in the March 4 fire is now determined to improve the performance of the slum’s next batch of Secondary School Certificate (SSC) students.

In July, the Mumbai division of the non-profit Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO) plans to organise a series of educational guidance programmes for Garib Nagar’s new class 10 students.

The workshops will include interactive lectures on the importance of education, preparing for board exams, how to improve memory and special parental guidance sessions.

After the fire, the 29-year-old organisation had arranged for immediate replacement of burnt textbooks along with several all-night study rooms in two civic schools nearby.

However, two of the six Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) students failed the exam and 32 out of 33 failed the SSC exam.

“Despite our efforts to rehabilitate the students, their results were not very good, as they were still recovering from the shock,” said Mirza Kamran Baig, president of the Mumbai chapter of SIO, which is the student wing of the Jamat-e-Islami Hind.

“But there is now a general lack of will to study among students in the slum, which we want to address with the new batch.” The SIO, which is organising career guidance sessions in several schools and colleges across the city, will confirm the dates of its Garib Nagar programmes in ten days. “We will also provide books and financial aid to needy students,” said Baig.

For Mohammed Khalid Shaikh, a plumber whose home was among the many that were damaged in the fire, the workshops mean more hope for his 15-year-old son Shahid.

“He already has a benefactor to pay his Class 10 fees, and I know people will be ready to give him a job if he scores well and studies further,” said Shaikh.
