On October 7, the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Pushkar Singh Dhami, publicly thanked the state’s governor, Lt‑Gen Gurmit Singh (retired), for approving the Minority Education Bill 2025. The new law will overhaul how minority schools—especially madrasas—are run in the state.
Under the bill, all minority institutions must register with the Uttarakhand Board and gain recognition from the Uttarakhand Minority Education Authority. They will also need to affiliate with the Uttarakhand School Education Board, creating a single, modern curriculum that includes science, maths, social studies, technical subjects and vocational training. From the July 2026 academic year onward, minority schools will follow the National Curriculum Framework and the New Education Policy (NEP 2020).
Gov. Gurmit Singh’s approval sends the bill a step closer to becoming law. Dhami said the move will make Uttarakhand the first Indian state to dissolve its separate Madrasa Board and bring minority education into the mainstream system, improving transparency, accountability and quality across the board.
