The move comes after police cracked down on alleged modules of terrorist organisation Ansarul Bangla Team, and 51 Bangladeshis were discovered among the preachers at Madrasas.

Sarma said that a checklist has been prepared for the Madrasas, though the state is yet to “enter into an agreement with stakeholders, but things are moving in the right direction”.

The Assam Police is working with Muslims in the state to “rationalise” Madrasa education, he said on Sunday.

There are some 3,000 registered and unregistered Madrasas in Assam.

Himanta Biswa Sarma said the police are coordinating with Bengali Muslims, who have a positive attitude towards education to create “a good environment” in the Madrasas.

He said also that science and mathematics will also be taught as subjects in the Madrasas, and right to education respected and a database of teachers maintained.
