In Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, the income of the Madhya Pradesh Waqf Board has risen to ₹5.95 crore for the financial year 2025-26, following reforms in waqf lease and rules. This is an increase from ₹4.6 crore in the previous year, 2023-24. The board's charitable trust, Auqaf-e-Amma, also saw a rise in income, from ₹1.98 crore to ₹2.92 crore.
Waqf Board chairman Sanwar Patel revealed these figures to media representatives on Monday. The reforms aim to rationalize rents, allow for long-term commercial usage, and conduct competitive bidding to boost the board's income. The financial assistance for school fees of 289 orphan children in Bhopal will be over ₹21 lakh, funded by income from yatimkhana (orphanage) properties.
The Board advertised for applicants through newspapers, with two rounds of advertisements leading to the identification of 289 eligible children.
