Minister of State for Minorities Danish Azad Ansari said that as per the instruction from the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, the State had taken this decision. Presently 16,461 madarasa exist in UP out of which only 560 get Government grants. When asked, will they be recognised after this survey ? Ansari said, that presently their aim was to collect information with regard to basic amenities only.

Editorial viewpoint 

It is essential to survey madarasas in the whole country by considering criminal activities like terrorism, love jihad, spreading fanaticism, sexual abuse, etc. and to close them permanently.
