Chhattisgarh madrasas to offer formal education from 2018
Chhattisgarh Madrasa Board will introduce NCERT-based formal school curriculum in madrasas from Class 9, starting from the academic year 2018-19. This will be the first such move by a BJP-ruled state and second by a state after West Bengal. "We are going ahead with former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee's wish to reform madrasa education," authorities said.
