'We probed into allegations against madrassas,' Bastavi said.

There are over 4,000 madrassas in Bihar, including the seminaries where the staff gets the salary from the state government.

There are 2,459 unaided madrassas. According to the first-ever status paper brought out by the AICCM, there are only 32 madrassas for girls under the government-aided category and 576 madrassas in the unaided category.

Some madrassas in Bihar have begun modernising their education system by introducing computers and science subjects.

They even encourage students to join the National Cadet Corps (NCC) training.
