"We have changed the existing syllabus of madrasas from the coming academic session and introduced subjects English, Hindi, Urdu and computers, which would be taught besides Persian and Arabic", Registrar of the Board Javed Aslam told PTI.

At present there are over 16000 madrasas in the state of which 2400 are affiliated to the Board. The government also gives grant to 399 madrasas.
