Classes in the modern madrasas will commence with the national anthem, and students will not only study science but also learn about the ideals of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna, Waqf Board officials said.

In a notable initiative, the first Dr A P J Abdul Kalam Modern Madrasa will be established in the Muslim locality adjacent to Dehradun railway station. The government has officially approved the operation of this modern madrasa. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami emphasized the importance of this project, saying, "The establishment of the modern madrasa is part of my dream project to ensure that Muslim students receive better education."
