International Desk: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has advised to stop providing financial support to madrassas in India. News agency ANI reported that letters have also been sent to the chief secretaries of various states and union territory administrations regarding the matter.

According to the Indian media, the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights has recently prepared a report on madrassa institutions. It highlights the 'historical role' of the madrassa and its impact on children's right to education. In the Chapter 11 report, the commission suggested that the Madrasa Boards should be closed by stopping financial support to the Madrasas in different states.

Priyank Kanungo, chairman of the report commission said on the importance of child education, “Right to Education Act (RTE 2009) aims to establish equality, social justice and democracy. But in madrasahs, an opposite picture is seen. There is a conflict between the fundamental rights of children and the rights of minorities.''

The report also states that merely having a board and a UDISE code does not mean that a madrassa is abiding by the Right to Education Act. In this, the National Commission has also suggested that the children of the Muslim community should be taught in other educational institutions instead of being admitted to madrasas.
