For the first time post-pandemic, almost the entire proceeds of zakat are going to be spent on healthcare, education and economic development of the poor.
In the last two years that were shadowed by Covid-19, zakat money was primarily spent on the treatment of Covid-19 patients including supply of medicines and oxygen cylinders and maintenance of isolation centres. With pandemic now relenting, the zakat (mandatory charity on rich Muslims) money is planned to be spent on non-Covid-19 needs. Hyderabad and other areas of Telugu states generate crores of rupees of zakat every Ramzan.
Historically, a major portion of zakat is spent on healthcare and education in Hyderabad. A survey in 50 slums by an NGO, Helping Hand Foundation (HHF), in the Old City found a very high burden of non-communicable diseases with 28.3% diagnosed with diabetes, 32% with high blood pressure and 21.8% with comorbidities.
