Dehradun, April 28 Emphasising inclusive development in the education sector, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday said that children studying in madrasas in the state are being provided modern and quality education, with a focus on science, technology, innovation and artificial intelligence.
Addressing a special session of the state Assembly, the Chief Minister said that the government is committed to ensuring that education becomes a unifying force rather than a source of division. He stressed that society should not be divided on the basis of education, adding that the state government does not intend to create any distinction in the name of learning.
