The Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Education Board has expressed its reservation to the interference of officers of the education department in the day-to-day working of madrasas in the state, which has led to a situation of discomfort in these institutions.
Board chairman Dr Iftikhar Ahmed Javed, said: “Officials of the state education department are not the competent authority to inspect the madrasas run by the department of minority welfare.
“After the formation of the minority welfare department in 1995, all work of the madrasas, managed by the education department till then, was transferred to the minority welfare department.
“Later, the Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Education Council Act, 2004, was made through which the Uttar Pradesh Non-Government Arabic and Persian Madrasa Recognition, Administration and Service Regulations 2016 were made. Since then, the district madrasa education officer became the district minority welfare officer.
“As per the arrangement made in the Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Education Board Act 2004 and Regulations 2016, neither inspection nor notice will be given to any madrasa by any officer of any department other than the minority welfare department.”

“Sunni Muslims have filed a petition in Mumbai High Court asking for a ban on Shia’s Mohurrum processions on fortieth day, saying Quran does not allow such a ritual (March 21, 2006). HC tells the police to settle the issue after discussion. Is this tolerance?” ” P. , Deivamuthu 2006.
I agree 100 per cent.
The details of teaching curriculum of every Madrasa must be under direct scanner of State Education Board. There is nothing wrong in it. And Madrasas should not be worried about that if there is transparency in their academic curriculm. Not only Madrasas, but this system must be enforced to all academic institutions operating in this country. The minority welfare department must not be shielded. And for this necessary laws must be enacted. This is for the benefit of the whole country.
