An Aligarh-based Muslim group has decided to institute a scholarship in the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Forum for Muslim Studies and Analysis will award the Narendra Modi scholarship to economically backward Muslim students who are in the 12th standard or doing graduation. To begin with, it will be given to 10 students. The organisation's director Jasim Mohammad is credited with writing the Prime Minister's first Urdu biography, Narendrabhai Modi - Farsh Se Arsh Tak (Narendrabhai Modi - From the ground to the sky). The first of the proposed five volumes was launched by Modi on March 5. A volume in Hindi that he compiled and edited, titled Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi Ki Mann Ki Baat, is expected to be published shortly. Earlier, Dr. Jasim was seen to be close to the UPA government and, as part of the organisation Millat Bedari Muhim, had even campaigned for "secular forces" along with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt in the 2014 general elections.
