According to official directions, letters have been sent to all District Magistrates (DMs), instructing them to oversee the verification process in their respective jurisdictions. District administrations have been asked to undertake a comprehensive review and submit their findings to the state government within 10 days.
The review will focus on multiple aspects of the functioning of government-aided madrasas, including student enrollment, attendance records, teaching and non-teaching staff, infrastructure, academic activities, and the utilisation of government grants. Authorities are expected to physically verify records and assess whether institutions are operating in accordance with prescribed norms and guidelines.
Officials familiar with the exercise said the government is seeking an updated and accurate picture of the status of aided madrasas in the state. The review is expected to identify any discrepancies between official records and ground realities, as well as uncover instances of administrative irregularities, if any.
District administrations have been asked to coordinate with education department officials and local authorities to ensure that the verification process is completed within the stipulated timeframe. The reports will form the basis for further action by the state government and may influence future policy decisions concerning aided educational institutions.
The move comes amid the Bihar government’s broader efforts to improve governance, transparency, and monitoring mechanisms in institutions that receive public funding. Officials maintain that the exercise is intended to ensure that government resources are being utilised effectively and that educational services are reaching the intended beneficiaries.
Government-aided madrasas in Bihar receive financial support from the state for salaries, infrastructure development, and educational activities. As a result, they are subject to administrative oversight and periodic review by the education department. The latest verification drive is one of the most extensive exercises undertaken in recent years to assess the functioning of these institutions.
The initiative has attracted attention across the state’s education sector, with stakeholders closely watching the outcome of the review. While supporters of the move argue that greater transparency and accountability are necessary for institutions receiving public funds, others are expected to seek clarity on the scope and implementation of the exercise.
Once district-level reports are submitted, the state government is expected to examine the findings and determine whether any corrective measures, policy interventions, or administrative actions are required. The review is likely to provide the government with a comprehensive database on the current status of government-aided madrasas and help shape future reforms in the sector.
The verification drive reflects the Bihar government’s emphasis on monitoring publicly funded institutions and ensuring that educational infrastructure and resources are being utilised in accordance with established norms and objectives.
