Following the submission of the government's survey report, Saharanpur district officials on Sunday declared Darul Uloom, Deoband, an Islamic education institution, as an 'illegal' unrecognised madrassa.
In their report, district officials identified 306 other unrecognised Islamic education institutions as illegal.
"Information about 306 illegal madrasas that were traced was sent to Administration. Darul Uloom Deoband is also an illegal madrasa and is deprived of scholarships & other schemes," Bharat Lal Gond, District Minority Welfare Officer said.
"An investigation was done on basis of parameters set by the Administration like the year of establishment of the madrasa, the society that runs it, the name of the madrasa, and their source of income," he added.
"Whatever decision the administration takes, based on that complaint will be filed," BL Gond further said.
According to reports, 754 madrassas are registered with the district administration. Of which 664 runs up to fifth grade, 80 are up to eighth grade, and the remaining 10 madrassas are class 10 bound.
The Uttar Pradesh government had last month initiated a survey of Islamic educational institutions, which are done on the basis of 12 aspects. The teams of officials for the Madrassas survey have been constituted by District Magistrate (DM) as per government order.
The survey of unrecognized Madrassas is conducted to ensure the basic facilities of the students of Madrassas.
Danish Azad Ansari Minister of State for Minority Welfare, Muslim Waqf and Waqf Department has informed that the order also holds to give maternity leave and child care leave to women employees working in madrasas in the light of the rules applicable in the Department of Secondary Education and Basic Education.
