Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami's affiliation drive led to the closure of five madrasas in Uttarakhand, citing non‑compliance with state regulations.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami's recent affiliation drive resulted in the sealing of five madrasas across Uttarakhand. The administration said the institutions failed to meet the mandatory standards required for recognition and affiliation under the state's education framework.
According to officials, the sealed madrasas were operating without the necessary approvals and did not adhere to prescribed curriculum guidelines. The government has ordered the premises to be locked until the institutions can demonstrate compliance with the stipulated criteria.
The move is part of a broader effort by the state to regularise religious educational institutions and ensure that they conform to national educational norms. Authorities have urged other unregistered madrasas to seek affiliation promptly to avoid similar action.
Stakeholders, including community leaders, have been asked to cooperate with the verification process. The administration indicated that any future violations could attract stricter penalties.
