VISION 2020

VISION 2020

Introduction:

The development of any nation depends on its educational system and it is proved that education is the key to human progress and social change. Education is a powerful tool for empowerment of any individual. It helps in developing confidence in individual and community about their own capacities, inherent strengths to shape their lives and thus enhance the inner strength, intellectual, political, social and economic against oppression, exclusion and discrimination.

Our mission is to serve the poor and deprived sections of Muslim community by providing them the basic amenities like education and economic empowerment and equip individuals to become an equal partner in the progress of the state/nation and by helping the sufferers of deprivation to move towards a community free from hunger, ignorance, deprivation and exploitation. We believe that Islam is the ultimate source of guidance for social development. We aim at reaching the grassroots with distinct preference for the depressed and the disadvantaged sections enabling them to attain all that a common citizen cherishes.

Hands-in-hand we go to serve the deserving. Through various community service projects and with the support of our caring and generous donors, MMOF will be engaging in helping people with little or no resources. With the high spirit and dedication of its members, MMOF strives to alleviate human sufferings and also to help them achieve real improvement in the quality of their lives.

MMOF at first may give priorities in two sectors besides time to time projects:-

1. Educational empowerment

2. Economic empowerment.

Educational Empowerment: Educational empowerment is the need of the hour. The simplest example of its necessity is that we are discussing about the upliftment of our brothers and sisters. Had not we studied, we would not have thought of it. Development is a central imperative part in today’s globalized world. But achieving sustainable all-round development for society requires certain fundamental pillars in place. Education is one such pillars without which any future growth is inconceivable. More so, in today’s information based society, where education is the key to a whole world of opportunities. Not only that, a whole host of issues in fields of healthcare, economic opportunity, women empowerment and community building can be traced to a lack of proper education.

Every child or almost 90% children go to school even in village or town in Manipur today. There is small or big schools in most of the villages in Manipur. But what is lacking is the quality of education. The passed out percentage in the villages is though increasing, still a situation of concern. Instead of counting successful, it is better to count number of failure students and address the issue. Girl student are higher in number than the boy in term of fail. There are many reasons behind this picture. Reason 1) Parents do not give much importance to the girl if there are 2-3 boys in family and if the family is in middle class. 2) The girls’ time are used in some household activities.  3) Dismal school infrastructure 4) Less experience teaching staffs. 6) Unable to get proper coaching due to less income. 

Vision 2020 may stress on primary and secondary level to improve education, because primary and secondary level prepares ground for higher education which needs worthy and deserving aspirants.

The Vision 2020 may take up following projects in the field of Education Empowerment:

· Career Guidance Cell in Imphal and Silchar

· Alumni Formation

· Award for academic excellence 

 [First 5 yrs Plan]

Career Guidance Cell: As we do not have full time office and working staff, it may be difficult to man one employee in the guidance centre. But we may utilise small room of anyone’s home as office and open the centre for 3 hrs a week. Our members in Manipur will manage for first some years till we are able to establish a fully functional cell. We may expand the functionality of the cell in later years depending upon our scope. We are also making a career guidance booklet under leadership of Umar Khan, Admin. Later on, this cell will also provide important admission form of different colleges/universities at the same rate what is available at the venue. It may also be made as job enquiry centre. Brothers working in the different department and colleges will share the job information besides those in the employment news and made available to young job seekers. This cell can be set up at no cost. This place may also be converted into a Library where books available with us may be kept for study of poor students. The book will be leased to one student for 2/3 days if the same is not in demand or not in exam time. Many other activities may be taken up later as and when any new idea is born.

Alumni Formation: We may back the initiative of any Alumni assn. formation. Alumni will works at its own but the human resource will be mutually used. What alumni should do must not be decided by MMOF and vice versa. 

Award for academic excellence: In continuation to our inaugural event, we may give awards to academic excellence students of Class X, XII, BE, MBBS and other specialised subject. Scholarship in itself is a catalyst for those students who are unable to access the available resources. Purpose of educational projects in Vision 2020 is to ignite and propel the students' self potential. The award distribution would be a great step in a marathon. The Award for Academic Excellence is meant to encourage the students to continue performing better in future. It is to motivate the minority students for performing excellently in their academic studies.

2^nd 5 year plan.

Economic Empowerment: 

a)   Micro finance: Economical development of under privileged and weaker people should be given the top priority to support one’s family. One such option is Micro financing. There are many brothers who want to start some business but could not do so for want to initial investment. Keeping the needs in mind, we can extend hand to these underprivileged sections. Micro Finance is one such option. Since we are in Islam, we can change the modal of common Micro finance scheme. We will finance interest free amount ranging from 1000 to 5000 depending upon the work they are interesting. The capital amount will be recovered/reimbursed to us in very easy instalments without any interest on daily or monthly basis depending upon nature of business. If the business earn on daily basis, we will recover on daily basis otherwise on monthly basis. As such, we can set up many small business houses/firms.
