(a) to (d): The day to day administration, policy formulation etc. in respect of Educational Institutions, including Madrasas, is the responsibility of the State Governments. The Madrasas don not require permission of the Union Government to carry on their activities. The data regarding registered and unregistered Madrasas in the country is not maintained at the Central Government level. Some states have Madrasa Boards to regulate and control these Institutions.
In order to bring the Madrasas into the Mainstream with the benefits of modern education system, the Union Government gives grants to the State Governments under the modernization programme for teaching modern education subjects viz Mathematics, Social Science, etc. to purchase Science and Mathematics kits and creating book Banks etc.
