The Aligarh minority officer informed that the Chief Secretary of Uttar Pradesh had sent a letter to the DM on 26th June and directed to get the students studying in unrecognized madarsas admitted to council schools. After this, the action is being taken.
Around 2000 students studying in these madrasas will be admitted to council and secondary schools.
Officer Nidhi Goswami stated that the committee will conduct physical verifications of these madarsas. Teachers from assisted madrasas will also be deployed for this task, assisting in the preparation of the list of students. Following this, the report will be given to the government.
