Our Population In India

Indian Shia population in 2005–2006 was anywhere between 25% to 31% of entire Muslim population (17 Cr) ; this accounts them in numbers between 4 to 5 crores. Source Britannica Encyclopedia ,Daily News and Analysis ,The Times of India

The 2nd Largest population of the World According to the official statement of our 14th

Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on 16th September 2005 the Indian Shia population is the world’s second largest, only after Iran.

Where do we stand after 66 years of Independence ? Even after 66 years of Indian independence and

in spite of being more than 40 million, the community still remains one of the most economically challenged in the country

The Challenge How do we bring this huge chunk of population, of whom over 65% are under 30 years, into the economic mainstream of the national and global economy?

Where do we stand today The per capita income of the shia community is

less than Muslim per capita income, which already lags behind the Indian per capita income

The Sachar Committee report There is very little representation in the public and corporate sector as well and even lower in top-level corporate jobs.

What have we done for ourselves ?

“No attempt by the community to develop entrepreneurs, industries

and train skilled manpower making the community

prosperous and contributing towards national growth”.

How will ICCI Benefit the community ?

in which business of the Imamia Community

can flourish".
