Uttar Pradesh Madrassa

Madrassas in Uttar Pradesh can function, Supreme Court sets aside Allahabad High Court order scrapping madrassa law

Thousands of madrassa students across Uttar Pradesh may get to know today which way their education will go as the Supreme Court decides if the madrassa law, scrapped by the Allahabad High Court, should stay or not.

A madrassa teacher has been arrested for allegedly holding a 12-year-old girl captive and raping her in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur, police said on Tuesday.

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.

The Uttar Pradesh government has set up a special investigation team to investigate into 4,000 madrassas, mostly running along the border with Nepal, which are allegedly receiving funds from abroad, officials said on Monday.

The Uttar Pradesh government in its budget presented on Wednesday allocated Rs 1 lakh each for madrassas to set up computer labs.

The proposal, which came up during a meeting of the government-appointed board on Tuesday, was opposed by the teachers association of madrassas, saying that effecting the change would send out a wrong message.

After conducting a survey, the Uttar Pradesh (UP) government decided to investigate the income sources of the unrecognized madrassas, situated in the border districts of Uttar Pradesh.

Madrassa students in Uttar Pradesh will be taught mathematics and science among other subjects so that they can become "officers" instead of "maulvis", minister Dharampal Singh said today.

Referring to a Uttar Pradesh government survey that reportedly found over 7,500 private madrassas to be 'unrecognised', BSP president Mayawati on Wednesday asked if the state will now include these in its grant list and bring them under its purview.

Prominent Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband on Sunday said it has no objections to the Uttar Pradesh government's survey of private madrassas but the whole system of such institutions should not be denigrated if a few don't follow rules.

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi hit out against the Yogi Adityanath led-Uttar Pradesh government for its decision to conduct a survey of madrassas in the state.

The Uttar Pradesh government will conduct a survey of unrecognized madrassas in the state to gather information about number of teachers, curriculum, and basic facilities available there, among others.

No new madrassa will be given any grant by the Uttar Pradesh government, the state cabinet has decided.

Haryana may make singing the national anthem mandatory in all madrassas in the state, Education Minister Kanwar Pal indicated here on Friday, a day after neighbouring Uttar Pradesh made it compulsory.
