<b>Arjun now plans to fund madarssas </b>
New Delhi: It might be good news for the madarssa students because out of every <b>Rs 100 spent by the Government for its literacy drive, Rs 26 will now be directed towards the Muslim community.</b>
Talking about the proposal, Minister of State for Human Resource Development Purandeshwari Devi says, "Yes the proposal is under consideration. Minorities and SCs have been focus group for the government."
This means one-fourth of the Rs 10,000 crore allocated for the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan for the current fiscal will be utilised in areas with large Muslim population. Ninety-nine districts which have 20 per cent or more Muslim population have been identified.
The allocation comes after HRD Minister Arjun Singh opened minority cell in all the departments under his ministry to focus on minority education
