A survey of all madarasas in the State has been undertaken as ordered by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). Information about madarasas and funds allocated for non-Muslim children studying in madarasas is being collected through this survey.

Presently, there are 1,200 madarasas in Gujarat. Out of these, 175 madarasas are in the city and 30 madarasas are in the rural area of Karnavati. The report on the collected information will be first sent to the Education Department and later to NCPCR. The State Education Department has issued a circular assigning this job to Education Officers of all districts, and an order has been issued to investigate 11 cases.

Editorial Perspective

Hindus do not expect such things to happen in a BJP-ruled State.
