#India is a
multicultural, multilingual and multi religious country. The current
developments of educational provisions in India are much focused on school
education. Basic education for any religious Minority group such as Muslim will
be meaningful only if the system could encompass the cultural, linguistic and
other social values into it. Educational policies have long ignored the unique
educational need of the #Muslim religious group of the country. However, the
education system of the country has several issues to address. Among these
issues, first is the expanding access to appropriate learning provisions and
opportunities and the second issue is making education relevant, useful and
desirable for all. Madarsa is the most trusted educational institution of the
Muslim to provide cultural education which has been running since long in INDIA
and providing education for the Muslim community on traditional style. Many Madarsas
all over the country have been registered and included mainstream subjects in
their curriculum along with Islamic subjects. This is a new experience for both
the #Madarsa organizers as well as policy makers. Achieving quality education
along with other several indicators are also very important. This study was
intended to evaluate the worked conducted by the #PVCHR entitled, “Continuation
and expansion of elementary #education project for Muslim and Dalit children in
Jaunpur and #Varanasi Districts, Uttar Pradesh.” and sponsored by Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (#SDTT).
This evaluation exercise would not have been
possible without the hard work and untiring effort put in by everyone who was
associated with it. A heartfelt
gratitude to all those who helped in every possible manner. I would
sincerely like to thank Mr. Lenin
Raghuvanshi Director of PVCHR who gave me this responsibility to evaluate
the work done by the PVCHR in Madarsa of Jaunpur and Varanasi.
A special word of thanks to Ms. Saumya Gupta for her hard work and diligence, technical inputs,
word processing and final layout of the report. I would also like to express my
gratitude, for Dr. Rajeev Singh,Mr.
Dilshad Ahmed Khan, and Mr. Irshad Ahmed for their support to the project.
Finally I would like to gratefully acknowledge the
time, co-operation and effort of all the Principals/Heads, teachers, staff,
students and parents of the Madrasas. We visited across in helping us to
complete this evaluation.
