Now, with the construction of this building, the Jamaat will have the opportunity to carry out some key developmental activities.

Both these works will be done through this institute.”

Karimullah, said that evolution and growth of various skills of the cadre would be done through the institute. For this purpose, he said, “various courses and training programmes will be conducted throughout the year. The HRD department was established for the expansion of the learning and practical abilities of the members, workers and associates of the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind during the last four-year term. This institute is first step in this direction.”

Speaking on the occasion, son of late Shafi Monis, Mr. Jalil Asghar, said, “my father’s vision is being fulfilled in the form of this building and it is being inaugurated today in the vast campus of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind.” It will be a five-storey building with basement.
