Abstract
National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992 section 2(c) notified Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jain, and Zoroastrians communities as minorities in India. As per the Census of 2001, Muslims were the major religious minority community and constituted 13.4% of the population. Muslims have one of lowest rates of literacy as compared to the national average. “Despite being the largest religious minority, the Muslim literacy rate is lowest among all the religious minorities”. Muslims enrol in higher education at lowest rate among all socially disadvantaged groups, including SC, ST, and OBC, according to the All India Survey on Higher Education Reports. Scheme for Providing Education to Madrasas/Minorities strengthens State Madrasa Boards by aiding through Madrasas modernization programme and promoting educational awareness among the Muslim community through remedial instruction, assessment, and improvement of learning outcomes. This scheme offers in-service training for teachers and helps them to teach contemporary subjects, including science, math, social studies, Hindi, and English while also enhancing their pedagogical abilities.
