UP govt ends honorarium for Madrassa teachers

However, the move is expected to adversely impact over 21,000 madrassa teachers, who are already struggling with their livelihoods since 2017 when the Centre stopped releasing its share of funds for the scheme, leading the state too to freeze its share. In the absence of both Centre and state's honorariums, it was the additional pay being paid by the state government that kept the teachers somewhat afloat.
