HWF Adopts Moradabad Village
The fate of the deprived village Malik Pallupura of Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh is now going to change as Delhi based national NGO, Human Welfare Foundation (HWF) on May 1 adopted it as a ‘Model Village’.
The Foundation decided to adopt Malik Pallupura village following a survey by an expert team that assessed the social, economical and educational conditions of the village. HWF chalked out a three-year plan to achieve its target to make it a model village free from all types of backwardness. Building orphanage, homes for poor, a sewing class centre for girls and successfully obtaining all government development schemes for the village, are parts of three-year plan.
Chief Guest on the occasion, Ambassador of Oman for India, Hamid Bin Ali Alma’ani laid the foundation stone of development plans for the village in the inaugural function.
Terming the relations between India and Oman as very strong, Mr. Hamid Ali lauded such efforts while addressing the function.
A sewing class centre was inaugurated and key of a house built under the scheme was handed over to a homeless person, Khalil Ahmed during the function.
HWF General Secretary, K.A. Siddique Hassan invited the social, political and local persons to work jointly to bring out the village from backwardness. He said, “Need of the hour is to come out to play a role in it, instead of just registering complaints, so that the blot of backwardness can be removed.”
Veteran Member of Parliament Shafiqur Rahman Burq also lauded the efforts of HWF while addressing the villagers.
Prominent personalities like Shia leader Muzaffar Hussain Turabi, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind UP (West) former President Mohammed Ahmed, Abdul Hamid Adam, former Mayor of Moradabad Humayun Qadeer and a big gathering of villagers were present in the function. National Coordinator of HWF Saleemullah Khan coordinated the function.
