While felicitating these youths, Naqvi said that that there is no dearth of talent in minority communities. Naqvi said that the youths, successful in the Central Government’s Civil Services, are a “role model” for youths from minority communities and other weaker sections of the society. Before 2014, the minister said, 2.94 crore minority students had been given scholarships while the present government's commitment to “Inclusive Empowerment” has ensured scholarships to 4.6 crore minority students during the last 6 years.
