So, it is not for minority students. It is also not in accordance with the recommendations of the Sachar Committee. I do not know whether the hon. Members supporting the Bill are reading it or not. This is meant for the business in the name of the minorities. This is to start colleges. This is just to allow the minorities to start colleges in higher education. This is nothing else. This is not for the welfare of the minorities. Can the hon. Minister assure this in these institutions either fifty per cent or sixty per cent or seventy per cent of the minority students will be admitted? Is there any such provision in this? There is no such provision in this. This amendment is only to allow them to do some business. There is nothing in this for the welfare of the minorities. It is universally acknowledged that key to progress of any group, whether it be any caste, community or gender, is education. Education is necessary for minorities and other. The rights of minorities are guaranteed under the provisions of article 30 of the Constitution. The objectives of the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions are contained in section 3 and section 11 of the NCMEI Act, 2004. Everything is mentioned. So, we are not discussing that things. Insofar as the education of the Muslims are concerned, who are one of the major minorities of our country, according to Sachar Committee Report, the dropout rate is 25 per cent seventeen per cent are matriculates and only six per cent are graduates. So, what to talk about IIMs and other higher technical education. The Government should consider all these things. The Government should consider for the upliftment and better education of the minorities. But your amendment is not meant for this things. Narendra Modi has been a flag-bearer for Digital India and how to integrate this into citizens's lives. We have tkaen the initiative to develop an online portal wherein any athlete present or former will be able to apply for their cash awards, pension or scholarships directly. Previously, this process used to take months and sometimes even years, but now this amount will be disbursed through DBT without any verification from SAI or the Sporting Federations. For us the priority is the ease of living for sportspersons and ensuring that they can focus on their training and not worry about other issues. This was done so that our athletes going for major international tournaments, including CWG 2022 do not suffer. The TOPS has been a very successful programme. It has been able to plug the gaps that exist in the elite and development athletes training and competition calenders. A substantial part of the training and competition schedule for the athletes is supported by the ministry's assistance to the National Sports Federation under the Annual Calendar for Training and Competition scheme. The gaps, if any are taken care of by TOPS. TOPS stepped in when Mirabai Chanu needed to travel to Sto. Louis in the united states at short notice before the olympic Games. It was managed in a day so that she could leave before the US. stopped flights originating in India.
