Complete details of foreign students will be recorded on the portal. symbolic picture
Jagran correspondent, Siddharthnagar. The administration has tightened surveillance regarding foreign students studying in madrassas in Siddharthnagar district adjacent to the Nepal border. Recent review has revealed that students from other countries including Nepal are studying in many madrassas, but the prescribed formalities have not been followed in their regard. Considering this as serious, the administration has now instructed the Madrasa management to provide clear and complete information.
A total of 453 recognized madrassas are operating in the district. For years, students with foreign citizenship have been enrolling in these. According to the rules, any educational institution has to register the information of admission of a foreign student on the concerned online portal within the stipulated time, but investigation found that many madrassas did not complete this process.
In many institutions, neither the exact number of foreign students is recorded nor the documents related to their identity and period of stay are maintained systematically. Officials say that since the district is adjacent to the Siddharthnagar border, transportation here is easy. For this reason, a large number of students come from Nepal for religious education. In such a situation, if information is not shared on time, doubts arise regarding security and surveillance.

This is the reason that as per the instructions issued at the state level, this subject has been taken on priority in the district also. Earlier too, the Madrasa management had been instructed by the Minority Welfare Department and the police to verify the students and teachers and to provide information about foreign students, but the expected compliance was not done. Now a detailed list has been sought from all the madrassas within a week, in which the number of foreign students, citizenship and duration of study will have to be clearly mentioned. Action will be taken as per rules against institutions that ignore the rules.
Details of all foreign students studying in madrassas are being collected. This process is for transparency and security. Action is certain against institutions that do not follow the rules.
