Review of Madrasa Education in India in the Light of NEP 2020

Author(s) Bhism Dev Singh, Prof. Yogendra Panday
Country India
Abstract The significance of madrasa education in India is vital amid the broader discussion on minority rights, educational opportunities, culture maintenance, and social justice. In several regions of the country, madrasas have been continuing to offer free or low-cost education to children from poor economic and social backgrounds while at the same time maintaining religious and linguistic culture in Muslim communities (Husain et al., 2024; Khatua et al., 2026). It has become imperative to reconsider the value of madrasa education since the enactment of the National Education Policy 2020 as the policy focuses on issues such as equality in education, literacy and numeracy, multilingualism, curriculum flexibility, vocational experience, teacher training, and digital learning. In this research paper, madrasa education in India is critically reviewed in the context of NEP 2020 based on a qualitative review of policy documents, scholarly literature, and institutional texts. This research paper contends that although NEP 2020 does not offer an alternative operational scheme for madrasas, its principles provide a strong normative foundation for reform when understood in terms of constitutional guarantees, inclusion in education, and diversity of institutions (Ministry of Education, 2020; NCERT, 2017.; Press Information Bureau, 2020). The review indicates that no reform can be achieved through mere curricular change and administrative standardization, but madrasa education needs a balanced approach to modernization where religious identity is maintained along with the expansion of modern subjects and certification, professional development of teachers, digital infrastructure, and university education (Khatua et al., 2026).
