He set out to build a school for his village in Madhya Pradesh. What followed: Madrasa rumours and demolition | India News

Published by Parlour News

A private school built to educate children from nursery to Class 8 in Madhya Pradesh’s Betul district became embroiled in controversy when rumours falsely branding it as an unauthorised madrasa led to its partial demolition, officials said on Wednesday. Abdul Naeem, a local resident who had poured nearly Rs 20 lakh of borrowed money and family savings into the construction, watched portions of his dream crumble on the evening of January 13 as earthmovers tore through walls and a front shed under administrative orders. For years, Naeem had envisioned a nursery-to-Class 8 school for children in Dhaba village and surrounding tribal hamlets, where families often send their children miles away for decent education. He secured commercial land diversion, obtained a panchayat NOC, and on December 30 filed his formal application with the School Education Department, submitting all requisite land documents. “I had decided to construct the school on my private land so that my village can progress and some people can study. Senior officials claimed that we were doing wrong things here,” Naeem said. Construction …

SC upholds Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Act and adjusts higher education provisions

Published by Webster

The Supreme Court of India has upheld the constitutional validity of the Uttar Pradesh Board of Madrasa Education Act of 2004, setting aside a previous ruling by the Allahabad High Court that had declared the Act unconstitutional. The verdict was delivered by a bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, along with Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra. While affirming the Act`s validity, the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in the context of its regulation of higher education, specifically concerning degrees such as `Fazil` and `Kamil`. These degrees were found to be in conflict with the University Grants Commission (UGC) Act. The Madarsa Act itself aims to regulate the standards of education within madrasas in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The Supreme Court articulated that the right of minorities to administer educational institutions is not absolute and that the state has the authority to regulate educational standards within these institutions. This ruling came in response to pleas challenging the earlier judgement of the Allahabad High Court, which had struck down the Act for allegedly violating …
