Government grant of madrasas was closed in 2020
In 2020, the Assam government stopped giving grants to nearly madrasas in the state. Himanta was the education minister in the state at that time. Due to this decision, around 800 madrasas in the state were closed. However, more than 1000 private madrasas are still operating in the state. They are operated by All Assam Tanzeem Madaris Koumia.
