Scheme of Financial Assistance for Modernisation of Madrasa Education

Abstract

The Group on Minorities’ education which was set up by the Department of Education in July, 1990 to suggest some programmes for development of educationally backward minorities has also recommended that traditional institutions like Madrasas should be encouraged and assisted to include Science, Mathamatics and English in their curricula. The Empowered Committee which was set up to take decisions on the recommendations of the group referred to above has fully endorsed this recommendation. The Cabinet Committee on 15-Point Programme for Minorities’ Welfare has also suggested formulation of a scheme on modernisation of Madrasa Education.
