Computerise Capital’s mosques, suggests Delhi Minorities Panel
Dear Sirs,
Computerizing the mosques and minorities is a very good idea for empowerment of the minorities and poverty alleviation of the marginalized and deprived class of society.
Biometric registration of every minority and tracking their health, education, skills, employment and old age pension would go a long way in alleviating poverty.
The Zakat payments can also be tracked effectively using the biometric smart cards.

Jaitanpur: A neglected village an hour away from Lucknow
By Vanya Mehta, TwoCircles.net,
Road to Delhi goes through Lucknow, so they say. After about an hour drive north of UP’s capital on a smooth two-lane Sitapur Road, take a sharp turn down a rickety dirt path and you will reach Jaitanpur, a small village surrounded by fields of wheat, sugar cane, rice, mustard seeds, and groundnuts. Driving past the fields, a mosque, and a traffic jam of trucks carrying bricks, and reach the home of the residents of Jaitanpur, a series of small shacks with haystacks for walls. Just 60 km away from the state capital, government services have yet to reach this part of the state.
