When the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) summoned Chief Secretary Veera Rana to Delhi in connection with the case of teaching Islam to Hindu children in madrasas of Madhya Pradesh, then about one and a half months later on Tuesday, based on the report of the District Education Officer in Sheopur, the Madhya Pradesh Madrasa Board cancelled the recognition of 56 madrasas. Government aid was being taken in the name of Hindu children in these madrasas.

School Education Minister Rao Uday Pratap Singh has also given instructions to expedite the physical verification of madrasas operating in all districts of the state. In the investigation conducted by the Sheopur District Education Officer, it was revealed that government aid was being taken in the name of such Hindu students in madrasas who have completed their education or are working.

Among such names, Manav Goyal’s name was found written in the madrasa, but he is a software engineer. Priya Mittal is a doctor, but government food grains were being taken in her name. Jyotsna Goyal also became a doctor, but her name is also included. There are many such students in madrasas, whose name was registered in the year 2004, then the name of the same student was included in 2018 and 2023 as well.

According to the information received by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, 9427 Hindu children are studying in 1505 madrasas in Madhya Pradesh. Out of these, 2068 children are studying in 68 madrasas in Morena, 1812 in 78 madrasas in Bhind and 1426 in 111 madrasas in Rewa. After the information came to light, the commission has taken a strict stand. Now information about missionary ashrams and NGOs is also being collected.
