The state government has formally notified 252 madrasas that lack official recognition and are operating without state aid. Each school received a closure notice, stating that it must comply with statutory requirements or face permanent shutdown. The notices highlight concerns about curriculum, infrastructure and teacher qualifications. The government’s action is part of a larger campaign to enforce educational standards across West Bengal.
Officials say the closure notices are a precautionary step to ensure that all institutions meet minimum safety and academic criteria. Schools that fail to respond within the stipulated timeframe will be closed by the end of the month. The government has urged parents and community members to support compliance efforts to avoid disruption of students’ education.
