Ninety madrasas in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, may have to close because they did not create special student IDs called Apaar IDs. These IDs are needed by the government to make sure students get the benefits they deserve. The district official in charge of minority affairs has suggested that these madrasas lose their official recognition for failing to follow the rules.
The government had asked madrasas to create Apaar IDs, which stands for Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry. These IDs help the government send benefits directly to students. Most primary and junior schools completed this task, but many madrasas did not. Without these IDs, students at those madrasas cannot receive the help the government provides.
This problem shows that some madrasas have not followed the rules, which is causing problems. The government wants all students to receive support, but this is not happening because of the lack of compliance with the new system. As a result, some students are missing out on important resources. The official, Sanjay Kumar Mishra, said that the government specifically told madrasas to make the IDs so students could get their benefits.
The potential loss of recognition would have a major impact on the 90 madrasas and the students who attend them. This situation highlights how important it is for schools to follow government instructions to ensure all students receive needed assistance. The future of these madrasas now depends on how they handle this serious issue.
