The report would give a state-wise analysis of how governmental schemes meant for Muslims had benefited them in recent years. The panel was constituted by the central government to study the implementation of recommendations made by the Sachar committee in 2006 for the welfare of Muslims. An interim report was given some weeks earlier. The Panel faced the lack of funds but later the Minority Ministry under K Rehman Khan had provided required money to it.
