## UNSTARRED QUESTION No. 5674 TO BE ANSWERED ON 2 nd  APRIL, 2018 Funds to Madarsas

## †5674. SHRI HARISH MEENA:

Will the Minister of HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state:

- (a) the total number of Madarsas funded by the Government in the country, State/UT-wise including Rajasthan;
- (b) whether the Government has recently traced number of fake Madarsas getting Government funds; and
- (c) if so, the details thereof and the punitive action taken by the Government against them ?

## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRI UPENDRA KUSHWAHA)

- (a) The  Department  of  School  Education  and  Literacy  is  implementing  an  umbrella Scheme for  Providing  Education  to  Madarsas/Minorities  (SPEMM),  which  comprises  two schemes  namely,  Scheme  for  Providing  Quality  Education  in  Madrasas  (SPQEM)  and Infrastructural  Development  in  Minority  Institutions  (IDMI).  These  schemes  are  demand driven and voluntary in nature and funds are approved based on viable proposals received from  the  states,  utilisation  of  funds  approved  earlier  and  availability  of  funds.  SPQEM encourages traditional institutions like Madarsas and Maktabs by giving financial assistance to introduce Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, Hindi and English in their curriculum so that  academic  proficiency  for  classes  I-XII  is  attainable  for  children  studying  in  these institutions.  Total  number  of  Madarsas  funded  under  the  SPQEM  scheme  State/UT-wise including Rajasthan during the last three years is at Annexure.
- (b) & (c) Information regarding fake Madarsas is not maintained centrally. In order to avoid duplication of Madarsas, and streamlining the scheme, it has been decided by Department of

School  Education  and  Literacy  in  its  Grant-  in-Aid  Committee  (CGIAC)  meeting  held  on 14.01.2016 that all the Madarsas/institutions must have U-DISE or unique code.
