Yearly provision of Rs. 2 lakh to develop infrastructure and Rs. 3 lakh for teacher salaries for each madrasas.
The Maharahstra government has made the teaching of English, Maths, Science and Social Science mandatory in all madrasas that seek grants from the State.

While the scheme has been in operation from last year, the government has now decided to cover the remaining around 1,300 madrasas.

“The government is committed to the development of Muslims in the State and we have decided to expand the scheme base to ensure that quality education reaches Muslim students,” said Minority Affairs Minister Eknath Khadse. He said it was an effort to modernise the madrasas.

As per the scheme, every year, each madrasa will get Rs. 2 lakh to develop infrastructure and Rs. 3 lakh for salaries of teachers. In addition, Rs. 50,000 will be given for the purchase books for the library. The organisation that runs the madrasa will also have to appoint three teachers with adequate educational qualifications to teach students.

Out of 1,889 madrasas in the State, around 537 have agreed to be a part of the scheme. “We want to increase this number. Still a large chunk of Muslim students is away from these benefits,” said Mr. Khadse.

Multi-sector development
In an effort to upgrade cities with large minority populations, the State announced the ‘Multi Sector Development Programme’ to be implemented with the help of the Centre.

The All India Ulema Council had accepted the government grants without any strings.

“We will call a meeting soon and chalk out our future strategy in view of the government’s fresh decision pertaining to the grants,” an official of the religious body said.

According to city-based academic Abdul Rashid, modern education will help Muslim children secure good jobs.

“It will also help the students broaden their horizon and perspective,” he said.

“We have taken the decision in accordance with the madrasas’ modernisation plan. We will allow appointment of three teachers with BEd qualification for these subjects. The madrasas will have the right to appoint a teacher of their choice,” Khadse said.

(i) a school established, owned or controlled by the appropriate Government or a local authority;

On August 11, the Madhya Pradesh Madarsa Board had ordered all 256 madrasas in the state to unfurl the national flag and recite the national anthem on August 15.

The Madrasa Board later directed the youth to follow the order, record the video, click pictures of the event and send it to the chairman of the board.

The board has also asked the students to take out a ` Tiranga rally` on the day.

Adding to the order, the chairman of the MP Madrasa Board, Syed Imad Uddin, told ANI that it`s a routine order to celebrate the I-Day.

"It is a routine order to celebrate the I-Day and when the national flag is unfurled, the national anthem will also be sung," he said.

"Jo sachha Islam ka manne wala hai, usse lazmi taur se watan se mohabbat karna hai. (A true believer and follower of Islam will have to anyway love his/her nation)," he added.

Earlier in the week, the UP MSP issued a circular in this regard and asked all madrasas affiliated to it to comply with its orders.

The circular states that along with photographs, videos of the programmes must be shot as well.

According to the circular, the flag hoisting and recitation of the National Anthem will take place at 8 am After that, homage will be paid to the soldiers and martyrs of the freedom struggle.

Madrasas in Madhya Pradesh will soon have to hoist the Tricolour every day, school education minister Vijay Shah announced on Friday. He was speaking at the Madrasa Shiksha Sammelan in the presence of chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

Earlier, the Madrasa Board in Madhya Pradesh had ordered all the institutions in its jurisdiction to celebrate Independence Day and send photographs of the occasion across to it. There are 2,575 madrasas in the state, with an enrolment of 2.88 lakh students.

Reacting sharply, the state Congress said the BJP government should order madrasas to hoist the national flag every day only after the RSS headquarters at Nagpur and state BJP office in Madhya Pradesh start doing so first.

MP Muslim Vikas Parishad president Mohd Mahir also voiced his protest, asking why such a practice should be enforced on madrasas when it is not present even at government schools. “I fail to understand why the state government keeps asking the Muslim community to prove its patriotism,” he said. “Muslims are citizens of the country. They take part in the election process. They cast votes. They contest elections. They pay taxes. They do everything a citizen of the country should do. But orders like these are issued to create divisions in society.”

Speaking at the event, Chouhan said modern education should be imparted along with religious training at madrasas to ensure that its students turn into “good human beings”. “Children need to be skilled in today’s times,” he added.

Madrasa Board chairman Sayyed Imadduddin said the institutions would be trained in the do’s and don’ts of hoisting the Tricolour before the order is implemented. No date has been fixed in this regard till now, he added.
