The fund was collected through an app developed by a group of young men associated with Samastha’s feeder organisations. Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, Samastha president Syed Muhammad Jiffiri Muthukoya Thangal said Thahiyya received an overwhelming response from all sections of society.
Thangal thanked the rival faction Sunni leader Abdul Hakeem Azhari for his gesture of contributing to the Thahiyya fund. Thangal announced the fund collection drive on September 28, and the last date fixed earlier was extended to December 1.
Strengthening the educational institutions at Walayar, Parangipettai, Tiruppur, and Ramanathapuram in Tamil Nadu is among the projects visualised under the Thahiyya project. It also proposes to set up Samastha Centenary Educity, rehabilitation centres, offices for Samastha in major cities, an international heritage museum, an e-learning village, a medical care centre, special schools, higher education scholarships, and the construction of students’ hostels.
