Future Plans

FUTURE PROGRAMMES of the Society have been envisaged on two fronts. Firstly, improvement in the quality and reach of the present activities and secondly establishment of new schemes while keeping future needs of the area in view. These future projects and programmes of the Society have been explicated in details here below.

The Society has started its benign march without sufficient resources at its disposal. However, by the divine grace, it could make some significant contribution for the educational and moral uplift of the most backward community in due course of time mainly with the cooperation and generous financial support of local and other patrons. During this formative phase, the sincerity and devotion of the workers and that of the various kinds of supporters of the Society have brought the desired results and the mission has been carried out till today in the envisaged direction.

The firm foundation laid by the Society makes it easier to plan for the next phase in which it will be very essential to improve the existing infrastructure, to develop professionalism in management of the units and to involve more activists at various levels of the organisation. In this regard the following mentioned measures would be very crucial.

Required Funds:
Rs. 150,000

The Society lays much stress on quality of its delivery system and constantly makes efforts to improve ability of the teaching staff, giving services to the institutions run by the Society. It encourages them to join training-cum-orientation camp organised by specialised organisations. Now, the Society has planned to organise teachers’ training-cum-refresher camp every year for the teachers of its own institutions and for similar institutions working in nearby districts. The programme will involve professionals in the field of education to enhance capacity of the employed teachers and instructors. The scheme to inter-organisation teachers’ essay competition on themes of their profession understanding will also be a regular feature in future. The Society will also award the best teacher of the institution by cash award and by giving additional increment in their salaries.

The boys’ vocational centre of the Society, named ‘Al-Falah Mini-ITI Centre’, is presently having facilities of training students in such trades as electrician, motor mechanics, repairing of tape recorders, transistors, scooter mechanic, etc. The imitative taken in the villages Adalhata and Patihata a few years back paved the way for the establishment of this institution. Presently, the centre is running six monthly courses, which lead the students to develop practical skill in some useful vocation. However, its certificates have no advantage in the government jobs. Therefore, the mini-industrial training institute will be upgraded to the ITI having one year or two year courses. It will be registered with competent authority so that its certificates could have due recognition in the job market. The new courses having potential of early occupation as computer hardware, mobile repairing, health technicians, etc. would also be started in due course.

3. Addition of Production House with the Girls Crafts Centre

The Al-Falah Sewing Centre run by the Society for the last few years have trained many girls in the craft of sewing and knitting. This made the girls and women students of the centre economically productive unit of their families. The Society is planning to add some more courses for the benefit of the students as well it has been planned to start a production house which could practically make use of talents nurtured by the Centres and market the produce for the earning of the associated girls and women.

It has been said the Society is making its utmost efforts to eradicate the child labour prevalent in the area especially under the thumb of Muslim manufacturers. Its awareness and counselling activities for the generation of public opinion against the child abuse are getting roots and with the days to come they will be further strengthened. Presently, such activities are having concentration in and near Ahraura town. The Society will launch similar activities in the entire district of Mirzapur and even in the neighbouring district. The Society is also planning to develop a network of like-minded activists in the area to bring better results on this front.

B. New Schemes

Apart from improvement in the above-discussed existing activities, the following new schemes will be undertaken by the Society depending upon availability of resources.

1. Launching of Professional Courses

The ongoing privatisation and commercialisation of education especially that of the technical and professional education have raised the cost of education very high and more sought after courses have gone beyond the reach of ordinary students due to their shooting cost. Moreover, such facilities are generally found in larger cities and the students of backward regions have to migrate to such areas or remain deprived of the better and choicest education. However, the opening frontiers in education have also shown the way to remove this difficulty through the provision of open mode of education. Consequently, sprawling number of study centres are gradually coming into existence in various parts of the country.

The Society is planning to get affiliated with some universities, which are providing their study centres in some selected courses so that the boys and girls of Mirzapur district especially those belonging to the Muslim community could join them and get professional education at their doorstep. The Society has identified a few courses to be launched shortly, as mentioned in the following. The other popular courses may also be taken up by the Society in due course of time.

2. Establishment of Bachchon ka Ghar

Establishment of Bachchon ka Ghar is a dream project of the Society. It will enhance the already undertaken awareness activities about the neglect and conditions of working children of the area. The involving concept is to provide all facilities of bridge courses, counselling, vocation training, skill improvement training, boarding, recreation, participatory activities in the alleviation of children’s conditions and so on while keeping in view a wide spread issue of child labour and the conditions of working children mainly in carpet industry and Bidi manufacturing. The said house of children will be a short of stay home as well as a learning centre; a source of strength as well as a hub of activities; and centre of empowerment as well as an inspiration of future life. The Children’s Home of the Society will bring out the children from their present adversities and to a world of dream with the help of local activists and moral and material support from outside. Therefore, the proposed house will have the following facilities:

a. Classes for bridge courses
b. Classes for mainstream education
c. Counselling
d. Vocational training
e. Hobby groups
f. Library
g. Hostel & Mess
h. Earn and Learn Centre

The Society will undertake periodical survey of the area to ascertain qualitative and quantitative state of the working children and it will cooperate other local, national or international organisations working for the cause. The Society will generate resources for the said programme by approaching national and international funds available to reduce child abuse.

It is been stated that Mirzapur district comprises a highly rural area with more than 85% population living in non-urban settlements. It is evident that without the overall development of people of the area their proper educational uplift would remain a distant dream. The government has also realised this fact that for the advancement of the country rural development is crucial. Consequently, a number of strategic schemes have been launched for the progress and well being of people living in rural areas. Establishment of Rural Growth Centre is one among them. The Society cherishes to establish such a growth centre in some suitable place in or around Ahraura in near future. The scheme of the RGC involves following and other activities and earnestly feels to commence these scheme as early as possible.

a. Rural awareness b. Counselling to farmers c. Marketing facilities d. Distribution centre e. Community activities f. Recreation g. Chopal h. Public meetings

4. Construction of New Building for Al-Falah Niswan College

It has found mention earlier that Al-Falah Niswan College is one of the major activities of the Society. Presently, around 400 girls students get education from nursery to senior secondary education. Therefore, technically the present level of the institution is that of an inter-college. It is the only girls school in the area, which has exclusive facilities for the growth and development of girls. Apart from the general and optional subjects the students are imparted education and training in home science, sewing, knitting, etc. The senior girls are constantly exposed to women related issues. At the time of their departure from Al-Falah Niswan College, generally speaking, its students not only have their proper education but also efficiency in household necessities and awareness regarding the women issues in particular.

The present building of the college has long become insufficient to fulfil the increasing demand. Presently, 400 students have been accommodated in an old building, which has not only become shabby and highly repairable by this time but also inadequate to house the increasing number of students. Moreover, with the idea to establish a degree college for girls getting stronger, there is a strong feeling that new suitable building of Al-Falah Niswan College should be constructed where classes of secondary level and in due course that of the degree level could run. It is envisaged that the classes up to junior high school (middle) would be carried on in the present building.

The Society has acquired a land of 750 sq meter in Takiya Doman area of Ahraura town for the proposed new building of the college. As per the architectural plan there will be the following infrastructural facilities in the new building:

a. Ground Floor
b. First Floor
c. Second Floor
d. Third Floor

5. Construction Al-Falah Niswan Primary School

IA new building in the new campus will be constructed for housing Al-Falah Niswan Primary School.

It should be noted that a large number of parents are demanding enhanced facilities of lodging and board. The presently arrangement accommodating 100 students seems quite in sufficient as compared to the existing and potential demand of parents from distant areas for admission of their daughters in the college while availing hostel facilities. Therefore, conjoined to the construction project of the new building of Al-Falah Niswan College is the construction project of Girls Hostel for 100 inmates in full swing.

7. Purchase of Land for the New Campus

The management of Islamic Society has developed this feeling for quite some time that it should acquire sufficient land in outskirts of the town for future activities. There is little scope of proper expansion of future plans of the Society while considering the present location and infrastructure in view. Therefore, the Society is planning to purchase suitable and sufficient land for future expansion and growth of its activities.

8. Construction of Jamia Tahzeebul Islam Primary School

Construction of the building of Jamia Tahzeebul Islam in the new campus

9. Construction of Jamia Tahzeebul Islam (Inter College)

The future plans of the Society have to the core upgradation of Jamia Tahzeebul Islam to intermediate colleges and it will require construction of its building.

The management of Islamic Society envisages to construct boys hostel in the new campus for accommodating increasing number of students.
