Summary:
"What I have noticed is that there has been a perceptible change among Muslims in rural areas as far as family planning is concerned. "However, in 2014, I was invited by the Assam Darul Hadis-also in Nilbagan-to deliver a talk," Ali said. I am now being invited by clerics to deliver talks," said Ali.In 2009, madrassa students in Hojai's Nilbagan took to the streets in protest against Ali's campaigns. "Along with religious studies, our madrassa has been imparting courses in computer science, English, general science, geography and other subjects for the last one decade," he added.Ali's talk at the madrassa is significant given the backdrop of protests that met his family planning campaigns in the minority-dominated areas. As the state government's nodal officer for no scalpel vasectomy (NSV), Ali conducted over 48,000 NSVs-mostly in minority-dominated areas from 2009..
