Access to laptop and internet at madrasas in Uttar Pradesh has helped in bringing down the dropout rate and boosting the number of enrolments, according to officials. Some madrasas received laptops with internet connection in 2014 as part of Tata Trusts' Technology in Education initiative. A madrasa official claimed enrolments had increased by 20% at his institute after the initiative.
