New Bengal govt makes Vande Mataram mandatory in all madrasahs
Kolkata : The new government of West Bengal has made singing of Vande Mataram compulsory in all government-aided and recognised madrasas during morning assembly prayers.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Directorate of Madrasah Education order covers all government-run, aided, recognised, and unaided madrasas under the Minority Affairs and Madrasah Education Department.
The directive mandates that ‘Vande Mataram’ be sung during morning assembly before classes begin, superseding any previous practices followed by individual institutions.
Khudiram Tudu, who oversees the Minority Affairs and Madrasah Education Department in the BJP-led West Bengal government under Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, confirmed the announcement.
