He noted that President Hassan Rouhani and other government officials have promised to help the development of Quranic activities in the country, IRNA reported.
According to Hojat-ol-Islam Heshmati, 2000 billion rials of funds have been allocated for Quranic activities this year.
He said the Supreme Cultural Revolution Council has already received some 600 billion rials of these funds.
