| In a move that will draw criticism, the Maharashtra government has de-recognised Madrasas or schools for Islamic instruction, and any other institutions that do not teach subjects like Science, Math and Social Sciences.
"Those schools which do not follow the curriculum approved by the state government, will not be recognised as schools. Therefore, children studying in Madrasas or in any other institutions based only on religious studies will not be counted among school students," Minister of State for Social Justice Dilip Kamble made the announcement today.

The BJP-led state government had earlier this month asked Madrasas in the state to include what it calls the formal subjects in their curriculum, to continue getting government funds.
"We want the minority to come up in all spheres of life. Thus, it is important that when they give religious teachings to students, they also give knowledge of other subjects at the same time. Thus, we have decided to make it mandatory for madrasas to teach these four subjects as well," Minister for minorities' welfare Eknath Khadse had said at the time.
Today's order says that the Maharashtra government also plans to conduct a survey on Saturday for a head count of students in the state who are being taught in the informal education sector
