A recent directive from the Uttar Pradesh government has mandated the transfer of all non-Muslim students from government-recognised and aided madrassas to government schools. The move, prompted by advisories issued by the national child commission, has sparked significant controversy and opposition from various Islamic organisations. Estimates indicate that the state has 16,000 government-recognised madrassas, with 560 receiving government aid.
