The Uttar Pradesh National Child Protection Commission has swung into action following the demand for a survey of non-Muslim children in madrassas. The commission has issued a letter on the education, status and how they came to study there, etc., of non-Muslim children studying in madrassas. In this letter, it has been said to remove Hindu children studying in madrasas. Those children will be given admission under Right to Education (RTE).
Dr. Suchita Chaturvedi, member of the Uttar Pradesh National Commission for Child Protection, says that only Hindu and Muslim children study in madrasas. Madrasas were opened to teach religion to Muslim children. The National Child Protection Commission has issued this letter for information about how Hindu children came there when a madrasa was opened for the Islamic education of religion.
He told Aaj Tak that when I visited Orai on January 3, the minority welfare officer admitted that Hindu children also study in madrasas. That’s why we have asked the District Children’s Committee to prepare a survey report of his family.

Dr. Suchita believes that today there is talk of modernization of madrassas, but madrassas have not become modern yet. The education that is being given in Madrasas is also being given Islamic education. The teachers in madrassas have studied from their madrassas and after studying from madrassas, they have only Arabic, Urdu, Persian education. The teachers who teach in madrasas are not experts in any other subject. They don’t know maths, they don’t know English, they don’t know any other subject. Modernization is happening now, it has not happened and until modernization is done, children of other religions will not study in that madrasa.
Uttar Pradesh National Child Protection Commission Number of Hindu children in all madrassas and under what conditions are the children there? Will prepare report on. Dr. Suchita said, ‘Poor children study in madrasas, so we have Right to Education to give education to poor children, for which children will get free education in good schools. The children who will come forward in this survey will get admission under RTE.
He further said that Muslim children do not go to study in Sanskrit schools. In Sanskrit schools, complete education of all subjects is given till class 8, not only Sanskrit is taught, all subjects are taught, but in Madrasas these children are also given only religious education. The letter has just arrived. We will start work soon and prepare our report in a month or two.

He had written in the letter that only religious education is being given to non-Muslim children on a large scale in madrassas. Survey report of such children has been sought. Non-Muslim children studying in madrassas have been asked to get admission in other schools under Right to Education.
