They also stressed the importance of documenting endowment lands in each district, recording any transactions, and ensuring timely collection of endowment revenues. The meeting addressed coordination between district directors, security, and judicial authorities, which serve as supervisory committees for endowment lands , properties at the district level, to inventory endowment assets and follow up on financial dues.
