Uttarakhand Recognizes 26 Madrasas Amid Sealing of Unaccredited Institutions
Uttarakhand's government has officially recognized 26 madrasas under a new policy requiring registration and a curriculum aligned with NCERT standards, including science and technology subjects. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami emphasized modern education for all children and denied anti-Muslim bias accusations. Concurrently, four unaccredited madrasas in Udham Singh Nagar district were sealed for lacking required documents. Some madrasa operators have challenged the recognition mandate in the Uttarakhand High Court, with hearings ongoing.
