Minority Student Enrolment in Indian Schools Rises to Five-Year High, Govt Reports
Official data shows minority student enrolment in Indian schools has increased across all levels from 2021-22 to 2025-26, reaching the highest proportions in five years. The government highlights this trend as evidence of inclusive educational progress under its policies, while noting that religion-wise enrolment and dropout data are not maintained. Scholarships for minority students continue to be provided, reflecting ongoing efforts to support six notified minority communities despite a national decline in overall enrolment.
