Uttarakhand Recognizes 26 Madrasas Amid Legal Actions on Unaffiliated Institutions
Uttarakhand's Minority Education Authority has recognized 26 madrasas under a new policy aimed at integrating modern subjects like science and technology into their curriculum. The government, led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, has initiated legal action against madrasas operating without affiliation, sealing several unaccredited institutions. Some madrasa operators have challenged the mandatory recognition requirement in the Uttarakhand High Court, which is reviewing the matter. The initiative seeks to standardize minority education while addressing concerns from various stakeholders.
