UP CM Yogi Adityanath on Friday expressed concern over the condition of madrasas in the state. He stressed that madrasas should not remain centres of religious education only. To avoid this, comprehensive reforms in madrasa education are necessary. Along with this, he announced the formation of a special committee, chaired by the Director of Minority Welfare.
The committee will focus on ensuring that madrassas follow the required infrastructure and educational standards. The chief minister’s move is aimed at improving the quality of education and ensuring that madrassas contribute to the overall development of students, preparing them for a more inclusive and modern education system.
Currently there are 13,329 recognised madrasas operating in Uttar Pradesh, with 1,235,400 students enrolled.

During this, he also expressed concern over the decline in the number of students appearing in board examinations. Yogi said that the continuous decline in the number of students appearing in board examinations is a subject that needs attention.
