Central Waqf Council

The Central Waqf Council is a statutory body established by the Indian government to oversee and regulate the functioning of Waqf properties, which are Islamic endowments dedicated for religious, educational, and charitable purposes. Its primary role is to advise the government on matters related to the management and development of Waqf assets, ensure proper administration, and promote awareness about Waqf rights and responsibilities. Essentially, it helps safeguard these religious endowments, ensuring they serve their intended communities effectively and transparently.
