Today I want to share with you a good news on how Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind led by Maulana Mahmood Madani is trying to introduce modern education in more than 200 madrasas spread across Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
All the madrassa institutions will be renamed by removing the word Madrassa to avoid any confusion in the area of higher studies.
Aiming at the development of madrasas in Rajasthan, the Gehlot government on Friday announced that it will bear 90 per cent cost of the development while the remaining 10 per cent will be incurred by the madrasa board.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman received an unusual suggestion from the BJP - to consider making budgetary provisions to start mid-day meals in madrasas across India following modernising them.
Speaking on the issue, Rajasthan Minority Affairs Minister Saleh Mohammad said "Although Modi government makes tall claims for benefits of the minority class, it has shown its real face by stopping funds for madrasas in Rajasthan. However, due to the sensitivity of Gehlot on this issue, the madrasas in Rajasthan have got a new lifeline"
With an allocation of Rs 120 crore, the Central government's scheme for providing education in madrasas is facing a financial crunch and the funds available will be used to clear some of the pending amount of the states of the previous years.
The announcement is an effort to address concerns that the country's over 30,000 madrasas with their strict religion-based curriculum, makes the student incompetent to find jobs after graduation.
The influence of ISIS can be openly seen in Kashmir, Rizvi further stated in his letter to the prime minister.
Chowdhary said the aim of the state government with the drive is to ensure proper education system in the the madrasas, where there is no exploitation of teachers and staff, and the scholarship is directly transferred to the accounts of students.
In his letter, Rizvi has alleged that most of the madrasas are being run by Muslim clerics, who are imparting "misplaced and misconceived" religious education to Muslim children.
Nearly 2,300 madrasas in Uttar Pradesh run the risk of losing their recognition for not submitting their details on the website of Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Board.
