Gorakhpur: It seems under the ‘influence’ of Modi govt a Madarsa of UP has started to to teach Sanskrit to its students.
Gorakhpur’s Darul Uloom Husainia Madrasa where students are being taught Sanskrit in addition to Hindi, English and Urdu.
Although students said they have enjoyed learning the subject so far, and are being taught well by their teachers and students.
“We feel good to learn Sanskrit. Our teachers teach and explain things very well. Even our parents help us in learning,” a student told news agency ANI.
Meanwhile, the principal of the Madrasa, Hafiz Nazre Alam, noted that being a modern establishment under the Uttar Pradesh Education Board, languages like Arabic are being taught as well.
“Subjects like English, Hindi, Science, Maths, Urdu and Arabic are taught here. Sanskrit is now being taught to all students above Class 5. The parents of the students are also very happy and have never raised any objection to this,” he added.
He also said that the curriculum at madrasas across the state is also being upgraded.
Education in Madrasas has been modernised in the recent past for the benefit of those studying there.
In October 2017, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said NCERT books are being introduced in Madrasas across the state, as per suggestions made by the state Madrasa Board.
Currently, there are about 19,000 recognised and 560 aided madrasas operating in the state.
It may become a subject of research to educationist to prove ‘how learning four language will be beneficial for school going students’.

Stupid sycophant organisers of the Madarsa in Gorakhpur.
Will anyone benefit from Sanskrit today?
They would be more literate if they taught a little Hindi and English.
In same Gorakhpur Dr Kafeel Khan saved many children’s lives by getting oxygen when the authorities were corrupt. He is still in jail after 7 months. Rewarded for his humanity amongst carelessness.
