Jagmohan Singh, the registrar of madrasas, says that along with aided, unrecognized madrasas are also under investigation. For this, different teams have been set up in all the districts.

The state government has ordered to complete the survey of all madrasas by October 15. After this the survey team will prepare its report. The survey team will submit its report to the District Magistrate, which is to be submitted to the government by October 25.
3. What questions are you asking in the survey?
- Name of unrecognized madrasa?
- Who is the governing body of unrecognized madrassas?
- What is the date of establishment of the madrasa?
- His status i.e. running in private house or on rent
- How is the safety of the students studying in the madrasa?
- What are the arrangements for building, water, furniture, electricity, toilets?
- What is the total number of students to the number of teachers?
- What is the curriculum taught there?
- What is the source of income of the madrasa?
- If students are enrolled elsewhere, the same is being reported
- Details if the madrassas have affiliation with a government group or institution.
4. What is being taken care of in the investigation?
During the survey, the team is paying special attention to the financial documents of the madrasa. Through this survey, it is being ascertained from where is the funding to run madrasas? Is money not coming in any wrong way? Not getting enemy country or foreign funding? If yes, how is it being used? Efforts are being made to find answers to all such questions through this survey.
5. Can madrasa operators answer themselves?
Yes, the government has made a draft. In this, questions have been asked in 11 points. After filling it, the madrasa operator himself can hand it over to the district magistrate. On the basis of the response of the operators, later the government team will do physical verification of it. In this it will be known whether the information given by the madrasa operators is correct or not?
6. Can madrassas be closed after the survey?
The statement of Minister of State, Minority Welfare Department, Danish Azad Ansari says that this is an opportunity in which the madrasa operator should give complete information. If they fulfill the conditions, they will be recognized by the government. If anything goes wrong, constitutional action will definitely be taken.
7. Why is the survey of madrasas happening?
In fact, questions have been raised about madrasas time and again. The connections of some terrorist terrorists have also been linked to madrasas. It is alleged that along with religious studies in madrasas, children are taught fanaticism. In the midst of all this, the government has started making records of madrasas running across the state. If any madrassa is found wrong in the investigation, then it will be closed and the monitoring of the government will increase on other madrasas too.
8. What does the Children’s Commission say?
Dr. Suchita Chaturvedi, a member of the Uttar Pradesh Child Protection Commission, says that the future of children is being played with in madrassas. The condition of unrecognized madrasas is very bad. The condition of some aided madrasas is also not good. Dr. Suchita says that she did surprise visits to madrassas in many districts. The educational level of teachers in government madrasas is low. The tenth pass teacher is teaching the tenth and the inter pass intermediate. Salaries in modernized madrassas are taken by subject matter experts but only dini talim (religious) ones teach. The teachers who taught maths could not even tell me the table of seven. The case of keeping a child in shackles had come to the fore in Sufamdintul Ulama Madrasa located in Gosaiganj, Lucknow. On this we also wrote a letter to the Principal Secretary, Minority Welfare Department. For a better future of these children, it is very important to make surveys and right policies.
9. What does the opposition have to say?
Many leaders including AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, BSP supremo Mayawati, SP president Akhilesh Yadav have questioned the survey of madrasas. Everyone is alleging that the BJP government wants to stop Islamic education. By conducting a survey, the government can get bulldozers run on madrassas.
10. What does the government have to say?
On the allegations of the opposition, state minister Dharampal Singh says that we are not against Muslim children. It is not the intention of the government that these children should not study Arabic, Persian, Urdu but it is necessary that they should also study such subjects with them in which they can make their career. This is the reason why the government is going to completely change the structure of the education system of madrasas. There is a preparation that there should be only one teacher of dini education in the madrasa. All other teachers should teach other important subjects to the children.
