madrasas

The Uttarakhand government sealed or shut down five more unrecognized madrasas in Dehradun and Haldwani for failing to comply with educational standards, bringing the total number of closed institutions across the state to 20 under its new minority education authority.

A female Madrasa teacher who was in Dubai submitted fictitious attendance records and got paid for two months.

The authorities have been given a deadline to submit the report as quickly as feasible so the guilty can be punished.

The Madras High Court has stayed contempt proceedings against Madurai officials regarding the lighting of the Karthigai Deepam. A division bench paused the legal action, noting the dispute could have been avoided if temple management had initially followed court orders to light the lamp.

Uttar Pradesh Panchayati Raj and Minority Welfare Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar said that in the past, several madrasas in the state have been found engaging in illegal activities, and therefore, the scrutiny is required.

The Minority Education Bill of Uttarakhand will integrate minority educational institutions into the state's mainstream education system.
