The Gujarat state education department has issued a notification, asking the commissioner of schools and the director of primary education to conduct a survey of all madrassas in the state.
They are to provide information on the number of madrassas, the students studying in these institutions, along with other relevant details.
The notification was issued based on a circular from the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), which has sought details from all states on “non-Hindu students of madrassas and unmapped madrassas.”
