Uttarakhand Shifts Madrasa Weekly Holiday from Friday to Sunday Under New Education Framework
Uttarakhand's government has replaced Friday with Sunday as the weekly holiday for madrasas recognised as schools, aiming to align minority education with the state's mainstream system. This change follows the abolition of the Madrasa Education Board and the establishment of the Uttarakhand State Authority for Minority Education under the 2025 Minority Education Act. Officials say the move promotes a uniform education framework across institutions, while some opposition voices criticize it as politically motivated ahead of elections.
