General Secretary took the mike to reply to their queries. He said that despite his ill health he had come to attend the meeting in order to meet the members and interact with them.

In connection with the matter of getting grants from the Govt. of West Bengal, he informed the members that a sum of Rs. 50 lakh had been sanctioned by the MA&ME Department, Govt. of West Bengal for the construction of Light Roof Structure.
After submitting all the required papers and meeting the officials in person, several times, a sum of Rs. 17,67,440 was released.

The matter of Tax exemption under 80G is being pursued with urgency. The newly appointed Auditor is consulted in this matter and he has assured that he will get the work done expeditiously.
The General Secretary addressed the concern of the member and assured that the banner of next A.G.M. will include Bengali.

The Institute has no policy of encouraging or discouraging any particular section from becoming a member.
The proposal of Ali Akbar Saheb is very good. In fact we had taken initiative to organize Health Check up Camp but due to some reasons the plan could not be given the final shape. But we will certainly take up the matter of Health programme in future.
Regarding proposal for the inclusion of women members in The Muslim Institute, the previous Constitutional Amendment Committee held several meetings and came out with its proposals. The matter could not be pursued further as the Constitutional Amendment Committee could not sit for further meetings.

Meanwhile, two important personalities who came to attend the A.G.M. were invited to share their thoughts.
Intaj Ali Shah, former Chairman, Minority Commission, West Bengal, suggested that the under privileged section of the community should be empowered to stand on their feet and face the adversities in their life. This can be done by imparting education and guidance to them.
Ahamed Hassan Imran, the Chairman of the Minority Commission recounted the glorious past achievements of The Muslim Institute. Many stalwarts and thinkers of Bengal were regular at The Muslim Institute. The Institute inspired thinkers and produced many intellectuals.
West Bengal has a Muslim population of 3.5 Crore. The Muslim Institute should try to reach out to as many persons as possible.
The Library section should approach the Library Minister Siddiqullah Choudhury for up gradation of the facilities. The books should be digitalised.
The Muslim Institute should strive to revive the interest of the people in the glorious history of the past. The contributions of Muslim thinkers & politicians should be made familiar to the people
