According to the sources in the government, the Bill aims to establish a transparent process for granting recognition to educational institutions set up by minority communities in the state while ensuring quality and excellence in education. The Bill will be introduced in the coming session of the Legislative Assembly, starting from August 19, 2025. The quality of education will be safeguarded along with the constitutional rights of minorities through the Bill and the State Government will have the power to monitor institutional functioning and issue directions as required from time to time.

Also, any educational institution established by Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, or Parsi communities must obtain recognition from the Authority to qualify as a minority educational institution. 'The Act does not interfere in the establishment and administration of minority educational institutions but ensures that educational excellence is maintained. To obtain recognition, educational institutions must be registered under the Societies Act, Trust Act, or Companies Act. Ownership of land, bank accounts, and other assets must be in the name of the institution. Recognition can be withdrawn in cases of financial mismanagement, lack of transparency, or activities against religious and social harmony,' he added.

Disturbing that PM's I-Day speech didn't have Nehru's mention: Pawar
1 2 Pune: NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday was critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech and said not mentioning the name of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was "disturbing". "I heard the Prime Minister's speech from the Red Fort. It was very disturbing that he did not mention Nehru in his entire speech," Pawar said in a private function in Pune, reacting to Modi's speech. "Nehru gave important years of his youth to the freedom struggle of India. After independence, he led the country and spread the message of peace worldwide. Even after his immense contribution, his name was not taken by the Prime Minister, which was unfortunate," the veteran politician said.
