UP Schools Converting to Madrassas: Centre seeks report

THE PROCESS OF ISLAMISATION OF INDIA HAS STARTED AND WITH THE BLESSINGS OF MADAM SONIA GANDHI THE PROCESS WILL TAKE LESS TIME.

NOW SEX GURUS LIKE MAHESH BHATT HAS JOINED THE HANDS OF CONGRESS TO CONSOLIDATE MUSLIM VOTES. BUT THE QUESTION IS: WHETHER TYPE OF PERVERTED SEX OR SEXUAL ACTS WHICH MAHESH BHATT SHOWS IN HIS FILMS IS ACCEPTED IN ISLAM OR NOT........

Mr.Arun Jaitley slamed a section of the media yesterday saying "Kambhakt Media", for presenting twisted information most of the time. My appreciation for Mr.Jaitley and all such politicians who are telling nothing but truth. But I want more such slamming of the sections of Notorious India Media, by politicians of all hues.

Media is performing its worst duty during the time of election, especially the CNN IBN, NDTV, India News, New 24, etc. variety---all concocted stories are presented to make them look spicy to grab the eye balls.

New Delhi, April 20: The Centre has sought a status report from the Uttar Pradesh government on media reports that several private schools in the state have converted into madrassas in the last two months to avail of special benefits.

Taking cognisance of reports that scores of private schools converted into madrassas, the Ministry of HRD has asked the state government to conduct an enquiry and submit a report, stating the factual position.

According to reports, schools have been converted with the aim to get benefit from the Scheme for Providing Quality Education in Madarassa (SPQEM), launched by the Union Government in February this year. In the letter to the state government, the ministry said they should find out the affiliations and standing of the schools which have been reportedly converted.

"The state government has been asked to state the action taken by it in curbing the trend, if such conversion is happening," a senior ministry official told reporters here. Reports said most of these schools are run by Muslims and do not have more than one year of standing. However, as per norms madrassas, which have been in existence at least for three years and registered under Central or State Government Acts or Madrassa Board or with Wakf Boards or NIOS shall be eligible to apply for assistance under this programme. "Ultimately the state government will recommend the madrassas for consideration under the scheme.

So they should be careful while recommending the madrassas," the official said. Reports said the schools which have been converted were formal schools and were following syllabus and textbooks of the state education board.

At present, about 3000 madrassas from Uttar Pradesh are getting funding from the government under several schemes, including Madrassa Modernisation Programme. The government launched the SPQEM scheme in February which aims at improving quality education in madrassas by introducing modern subjects and providing vocational training to students.

The scheme will provide funds to madrassas and maktabs to introduce modern subjects like Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, Hindi and English in their curriculum. The scheme envisages an expenditure of about Rs 325 crore in the XIth Plan. The financial assistance will be given yearly under the scheme through the State Governments/Union Territory Administrations in whose jurisdiction the institution is situated.
