An inquiry report in Morena, Madhya Pradesh, revealed over 556 Hindu students attending 27 madrasas, prompting annoyance from NHRC member Priyank Kanungo. Kanungo criticized the state education department's failure to enroll these children in regular schools, especially given the district's focus on producing army personnel rather than religious scholars. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav suggested halting grants to madrasas admitting non-Muslim students, while an awareness campaign is proposed to encourage enrollment in other educational institutions.
