Releasing an order, the government stated that the purpose of the survey is to “obtain authentic district-wise data” as well as identify “any irregularities or unlawful activities”.
The magistrates will have to conduct block-wise and/or municipality-wise survey of government-recognised, aided as well as unrecognised, unaided, and privately-run madrasas in the state.
The order, a copy of which is with The Indian Express, stated, “The present exercise is intended for administrative purposes, with a view to enabling the Department to obtain authentic district-wise data regarding the nature, status, academic activities, infrastructural facilities, student composition and related particulars of such institutions for educational planning, child welfare measures and maintenance of educational records.”
