The Agenda generally comprises matters related to fi nance, education, Tarbiyyat, Tabllgh, and issues of general nature. To consider all these issues, three or four sub-committees are considered sufficient, but more sub committees may be formed if required. The sub committees usually relate to the Budget o f Sadr Anju- man Ahmadiyya, the Budgets o f Tehrik Jadid and W aqf Jadld, Nazarat Islah-o-Irshad, TaTim and Umur ‘Amma. At times standing committees are constituted by Hadrat Khallfatul Masih, which keep deliberating upon certain issues throughout the year and present their reports in the next Shura. And if no decision has been arrived at, the deliberations can continue until a decision is reached. Some members o f the sub-committees are nominated by the Central Organizations of the Jama'at, while the rest are nominated by the Jama'ats. Each sub-committee com prises about 30 members. A Chairman and a Secretary are also nominated for each sub-committee. In early years, one of the Nazirs would chair the sub-committee, and the committee would itself choose a secretary from its mem bers. This procedure was later changed. Now the Amir of a Jama'at, or an office-bearer, or an expert in the related field is nominated as the Chairman of a sub-committee, and a Nazir or Wakil is appointed its Secretary.
