Madrassa teachers did not get their salaries for two years from Central government

More than 50,000 teachers in Madrassas, including the states of UP, Uttarakhand, MP and Jharkhand have not received a component of their salaries which has forced many of them to quit their jobs. All these teachers of Madrassas are registered under the Centre's Scheme for Providing Quality Education in Madrassas (SPQEM).The scheme was introduced by the Union HRD ministry in 2008-09 to promote the quality education at the Madrassas and under the scheme the teachers in madrassas were entitled for the salaries to be paid by the government.Graduate teachers are paid INR 6000 per month and post graduate teachers are paid INR 12000 per month which constitutes 75% and 80% of their total salaries. The remainder of their salary is paid by the respective states.Teachers plan to protestPresident of Akhil Bharatiya Madrassa Adhunikikaran Shikshak Sangh (ABMASS) Muslim Raza Khan said, "Half of the 18,000 madrassas in India are in UP, with around 25,000 teachers. Across 16 states, teachers have not received the central government component of their salaries for the second year now. In some states, they haven't been paid for three years. We plan a protest in Lucknow on January 8." Confirming that salaries had not been paid, registrar of the UP Madrassa Board, Rahul Gupta said, "Rs 296.31 crore was not released by the Union ministry for 2016-17. In 2017-18 so far, the funds have not been released either." "The Union ministry has been giving states various reasons for this situation, from non-submission of utilisation certificate by the states to not having Unified District Information System for Education code for these institutions," said Halim Khan, former member, CGIAC.
