New Delhi:
To reach out to minority votes ahead of the Delhi assembly
elections in 2013, the Congress-led government Friday asked the
state minority commission to facilitate the registration of
eligible Madrasas which could be provided financial assistance for
imparting "purposeful" education.
The decision came in the wake of absence of authentic data on the
number of Madrasas in the capital which is the basic requirement
to grant assistance to the seminaries.
This was decided at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Sheila
Dikshit who underlined the need for better education for more
people belonging to the minority category.
"The Delhi Minorities Commission has been asked to facilitate
registration/identification of eligible Madrasas. It has also been
decided that the Education Department will call for applications
for registration through advertisements in daily newspapers," said
a statement from the chief minister's office.
"The Madrasas with enrolment of at least 50 students and already
registered under the Societies Registration Act, Waqf Board and
National Institute of Open Schooling will be considered initially
for grant of assistance under a scheme for providing quality
education in Madrasas," added the statement.
Eligible Madrasas will provide a per month salary of Rs.6,000 for
graduate teachers and Rs.12,000 for post-graduate teachers.
Further, the eligible Madrasas will also be allotted a one time
grant of Rs.50,000 for library books and teaching aids and another
Rs.1 lakh for science and computer labs.
