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 ?
"The ICCI will actively promote
an environment in which
business of
the Imamia Community can
