Kochi: The Kerala State Wakf Board has decided to extend the monthly financial aid distributed to Arabic language scholars, Arabic teachers and Qadim to 66 more people. This will be an addition to the 803 already receiving the aid.
The board also decided to distribute the financial aid for wedding to 154 poor girls. Twenty-two more will get the board’s help for medical treatment. The decisions were taken in the sanction committee meeting of the Wakf Board Social Welfare Scheme.
