Talking to Sources, Singh also said that the time period for the survey of unrecognized madrasas of the state has been extended till October 20. “The data of the survey will be made available to the government by November 15, 2022, by the district magistrate. The last date has been extended as some reports were not received,” he said.

He said that survey work should be completed at each level within this stipulated time period.

Once the survey is conducted, it has also been instructed to hand over the report to the Additional District Magistrate (ADM) after which ADM will present the consolidated statements to the District Magistrates (DMs).
