Minority Student Enrolment in Indian Schools Rises Over Past Five Years, Govt Reports
Official data presented by Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju shows that minority student enrolment in Indian schools has increased across all levels over the past five years, reaching the highest proportions recorded in this period. The six notified minority communities include Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Parsi, and Jain groups. However, overall student enrolment has declined nationally, and detailed religion-wise dropout data is not maintained. The government highlights its welfare schemes aimed at socio-economic and educational empowerment of minorities.
