THE National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has raised serious concerns about the state of functioning in madrasas and called for stopping state funding to them, unless they comply with the Right to Education (RTE) Act.

- PTI @ New Delhi

In its latest report titled 'Guardians of Faith or Oppressors of Rights?', the NCPCR said religious institutions operating outside the purview of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009 had a negative impact. According to the report, the exemption of madrasas from the RTE Act has deprived children attending these institutions of quality education.
