The West Bengal government has issued closure notices to 252 unaided and unrecognised madrasas, citing non‑compliance with regulatory norms.
The West Bengal government has recently issued closure notices to 252 unaided and unrecognised madrasas across the state.
These madrasas, which operate without government aid and lack official recognition, have been found to be non‑compliant with the education department’s regulatory requirements.
The notices demand that the madrasas cease operations and comply with the state’s educational standards, or face legal action.
The move is part of a broader effort by the state to ensure that all educational institutions meet prescribed norms and provide quality education to students.
