Under a unique and first time initiative, MANAS has come up with an innovative scheme under which it proposes to use such leading celebrities in various skill sets as the driving force behind the skill development projects, in their respective fields, for the benefit of marginalised sections of minority communities. There are a large number of leading experts in different trades/skill sets, who belong to Minority Communities. They are icons for youths all over the country particularly for minority communities, in their respective fields. They are well known public figures, who are recognized by their name, face and their associated trades/skill sets. They are inspirational figures, who motivate young population to excel in the chosen field of trade/expertise. Most of them have already acquired fame, fortune and social status, which compares with the best in the country and outside and may not be so interested in getting monetary benefits only anymore. Most of them are, more than eager to repay their respective communities by using their expertise and stature in their respective fields, for the benefit of marginalised sections of their communities and also for the society at large, by supporting the cause of skill development/up-gradation in their own areas of expertise. This is based upon the feedback received from the interaction with several leading personalities and icons in different skill sets, mainly, in Beauty & Wellness Sector, Textile & Fashion Designing, Media & Entertainment etc. like Sh. Javed Habib Akter, Ms. Shahnaz Hussain, Sh. Wendell Rodricks, Sh. Kamal Haasan and many more personalities.

By this path-breaking initiative, MOMA can utilize vast potential of existing network of Madrasa and Maktabs (both in terms of reach and numbers) by opening Skill Development Centres in Madrasa with the consent of Madrasa. Apart from bridging the trust deficit of the minority communities, MANAS has been able to provide door-step access to quality skill development training to marginalised sections of Minority communities particularly to women and girl child, for providing them gainful employment/self-employment.
