NEW DELHI: Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi today said the Government does not want to “shut the doors of madrasas”, but it wants to open their doors for mainstream education.
Naqvi made the remarks at an event here to distribute certificates to the students who have been successful in a ‘Bridge Course’, jointly conducted by the Ministry of Minority Affairs and the Jamia Millia Islamia, for school dropouts and those studying in madrasas.
A statement issued by the Minister’s office quoted him as saying that the Government’s “3T” — Teacher, Tiffin & Toilet — formula to bring minority youths into mainstream education has been a tremendous success.
The Government does not want to “shut down the doors of Madrasas”, it only wants to “open their doors for formal and mainstream education,” Naqvi was quoted.
He said that steps taken by the Modi Government for the educational empowerment of the needy sections of the society, including the minorities, have ensured that the youths belonging to the minority communities are getting better jobs through quality education. (AGENCIES)
