Lucknow, August 08: In a bid to improve the standard of education and to provide better educational opportunities to their youth, Muslim organisations in the country have taken an initiative to set up a separate board on the lines of ISC and CBSE.

“It has been decided to set up a Muslim Education Board on the lines of ISC and CBSE boards which will give affiliation to religious and non-religious educational institutions in the country,” member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangi Mahali told PTI.

“A decision in this regard was taken during a conference of prominent Muslim organisations held in New Delhi earlier this week attended by HRD Minister Kapil Sibal and Minister of State for Minority Welfare Minister Salman Khursheed,” he said.
