Madrasas seek financial package to tide over pandemic’s impact

The seminaries affiliated to the Rajasthan Madrasa Board have sought a financial package from the State government to tide over the impact of the pandemic. They have also demanded their upgradation to higher classes following the enactment of the Rajasthan Madrasa Board Act, 2020. Madrasa teachers and management committee members said at a ‘talimi’ (educational) conference held here on Wednesday their students were not getting the benefits of the government’s schemes, such as scholarships and distribution of free textbooks and workbooks. The para-teachers have also been waiting for their regularisation.
