Southern Waqf boards have requested the central government to offer the UMEED portal in regional languages, enhancing management efficiency. The request was made during a meeting held by the Ministry of Minority Affairs.

Representatives from states such as Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana participated, emphasizing the portal's role in improving transparency and ownership of Waqf properties.
