Maharashtra may revoke minority status for corrupt Urdu schools

The Maharashtra State Minority Commission has warned that it may revoke the minority status of Urdu schools involved in corruption and irregularities. Grants to these schools could also be halted. Chairman Pyare Khan emphasized the need for accountability among minority institutions, which are misusing constitutional rights. A meeting was held in Nagpur to discuss improvements in Urdu schools, attended by educators and community leaders. Key topics included the admission process, teaching methods, and teacher recruitment. The commission aims to address these issues and ensure compliance with legal standards in minority education.
