The Bihar government, led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, has ordered a comprehensive inspection of state-aided madrasas to ensure quality education and strengthen oversight of institutions receiving financial assistance from the state.
In a directive issued by Education Department Secretary Vinod Singh Gunjiyal, all District Education Officers (DEOs) have been instructed to conduct physical verification of madrasas that receive government grants.

The inspection will focus on ensuring quality education in these institutions, whose staff receive salary assistance from the state government.
According to the order, inspections will be carried out by three-member committees constituted at the block level. The committees will conduct on-ground assessments of the functioning of the madrasas and submit their findings to the authorities.
The move is aimed at monitoring institutions that receive government support and ensuring that educational standards are maintained.
APPOINTMENT PROCESS BEGINS FOR PRO-VICE CHANCELLORS
In a separate development, Lok Bhavan has announced the start of the appointment process for pro-vice chancellors in 14 universities across Bihar.
An advertisement has been issued on the orders of the Governor-cum-Chancellor, inviting online applications from eligible academicians. Applications can be submitted until 6 pm on July 1.
Candidates must have a minimum of 10 years’ experience as a professor. Experienced individuals from reputed research institutions and academic administrative organisations are also eligible to apply.
The maximum age limit has been fixed at 67 years as on the last date of application.
The notification states that any attempt to influence the selection process through recommendations or other means will lead to disqualification. Shortlisted candidates will be required to make a presentation before a search committee and appear for an interview.
Appointments will be made in 14 universities, including Patna University, Purnea University and Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University.
