Modernisation of madrasas is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plan that he laid out in the run-up to Lok Sabha elections in 2014.

In the previous tenure, the Centre had identified around 90 districts in the country for minority communities' development and it now plans to expand it to 308 districts.
