Initiated by ministry of minority affairs (MMA) in 2009 after recommendations from a joint parliamentary committee on waqf, the scheme aimed to streamline record keeping and introduce transparency through a single, web-based centralized application so that problems of encroachment and misuse of waqf properties could be checked.
National Informatics Centre, a stake holder for the programme besides union and state government, developed the software for the project. The scheme is to be implemented in three phases. Success of 'computerization of waqf data at state level' was important to roll out the subsequent parts. GIS mapping of wakf properties and taking computerization to peripheral activities of the boards were the highlights of the second and third phases.
Talking about the specific problems in UP, joint secretary, MMA Rakesh Mohan said, "There is lack of support from the state because they tend to feel that they can handle it on their own. At the ground level, there is resistance to technology and computerization. And finally, the size of the target demands a more dedicated effort from the state."
He admitted that UP's poor show reflected on the national picture too. UP has over 41% of the total number of waqf properties in the country. "The state must understand that computerization of records would allow Wakf Boards to monitor their properties in a better way. The data base would also help in preventing encroachments and fighting legal cases with the encroachers. They can also take stock of incomes generated through the properties and put it to better use like sponsoring education, opening skill development centers, generating employment and so on," said Mohan.
When asked to comment on what steps are being taken by the ministry to speed up the process, he said, "In the last week of June, the ministry organized a meeting of chairpersons from the state boards and sensitized them about how would they benefit from the digitalization. A similar session is being arranged for secretaries of the department too." Additionally, said Mohan, the ministry is planning to allocate funds and provide manpower according to the burden of waqf properties in the state. UP would surely benefit from this.
