Madrasa Students

A Madrasa teacher in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly sexually abusing a 13-year-old student following a complaint by the boy's father, police said.

A five-year-old boy was beaten to death by three students at a madrasa in Delhi's Dayalpur, police said.

The Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind has demanded withdrawal of UP government's recent order directing that all students in unrecognised madrasas and non-Muslim students studying in government-aided madrasas should be shifted to government schools.

Two students of a local madrasa died under mysterious circumstances in the Khajuria police station area of the district on Wednesday, police said.

In a big relief to about 17 lakh madrasa students in Uttar Pradesh, the Supreme Court on Friday paused an Allahabad High Court order scrapping the UP Madrasa Act.

A 16-year-old student was at the receiving end of brutal corporal punishment not just from his teacher but also from his peers at a Madrasa in Maharashtra. His crime - alleged theft of a Rs 100 watch.

Three madrasa teachers were arrested on charges of sexual assault on minor students near here, police said on Saturday.

A 25-year-old teacher of a madrasa in Gujarat's Junagadh district has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting at least 10 of his minor students, police said.

The Uttar Pradesh government under a pilot project is introducing teaching modules in artificial intelligence in madrasas to train students in the upcoming technology as well as align these institutions with mainstream educational developments.

The idea is to help madrasa students join the academic mainstream and prepare them for a better future, Uttarakhand Waqf Board Chairman Shadab Shams said.

Five hundred Rajasthan madrasas will get smart classrooms where students will be taught with the help of smart boards, the state government said stressing that Islamic seminaries will be connected with modern technology.

"A committee would be formed to determine the age of the student for admission in various classes of madrasas, on the basis of whose report a decision would be taken," Minority Welfare Minister Danish Azad Ansari said

"Most of the children were admitted on the basis of documents signed by the mukhiya (head) of their villages," said an official. The children are aged 12-15, and belong to Purnea and Madhubani districts of Bihar

The Uttar Pradesh government will develop a mobile application for madrasa students, which will also include life stories of freedom fighters.

The Chief Minister virtually felicitated at least 1,700 successful candidates of the secondary, higher secondary and Madrasa examinations on Thursday
