Govt to develop portal to gather data on madrasas across country: Parliamentary panel report | |
2022-12-14 | |
![]() on Monday. To have a more comprehensive data of madrasas across the country, the Ministry of Minority Affairs told the panel that it has engaged an agency to develop a MIS (Management Information System) portal for the madrasas. "The states/UTs will be requested to upload the information regarding madrasa schools on the said portal and the portal will capture information of such recognised as well as unrecognised institutions," said the report.. As per official data, there are 26,928 registered madrasas with about 1.17 lakh teachers and the student enrolment in these institutions is more than 43.52 lakh. The parliamentary panel has flagged that in the absence of detailed information with regard to the madrasas, including available infrastructure, teachers and students, as only 10 states/UTs have entered details on UDISE portal, it would be difficult to implement the New Education Policy in madrasas. The committee had, accordingly, recommended the ministry to collect the information within three months so that the madrasas are able to avail the facilities under the scheme. | |
