Authorities have announced that Ihavandhoo in Haa Alif Atoll will be the sole host for the government's annual Ihya Forum in the Boduthiladhunmathi region this Ramadan.

The Ministry of Islamic Affairs has announced that this year's Ihya Forum will be held in 10 islands across the Maldives, including Ihavandhoo.

The annual religious lecture forums, which have been held across the atolls during Ramadan since 2022, are scheduled to take place this year from February 20 to March 11.

State media PSM, quoting the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, has reported that the islands selected to host this year’s Ihya Forums were finalized based on proposals submitted by local councils and an evaluation of their logistical arrangements for hosting the events.

This year's forum is scheduled to commence on February 20 in Th. Dhiyamigili. The final session will be held on March 11 in R. Meedhoo.
