This organisation aims at helping such families.

He said that in case of the sudden demise of the breadwinner a beneficiary family, the DKMA will donate Rs 2 lakh by collecting Rs 1,000 from 200 members.

The families of only those who become members of DKMA will be eligible to receive the amount after their demise. Besides they will be eligible to get a free treatment at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital at Deralakatte, he said.

As a special gesture the DKMA will be donating Rs 2 lakh to the family of Safwan, who died in a hospital in the city after being stabbed by miscreants a few days ago in Thokkottu, he added.

Very good move by S.M.Rashid haji,I hope & pray it long last. The
similar organizations are still in existance, i.e. Central committee
with different kind of services.The condition laid before the muslim public that those who become the member of DKMA only
get benefit is bit confusing.Hope that will be solved meaningfully.

Now the needy will get less donations and moreover surprised to note that there are no hanafi members and would like to know is this something to do like the Beary community as this should not be named DK muslim association as there are hanfai`s also in the district who have conrtibuted hugely towards the community.
