Although they are widely spread across the country, they exist in large numbers in the northern and western parts; various estimates place their number anywhere between 25,000 and 30,000.

The most quoted figure is that of the Home Ministry, Government of India, according to which Uttar Pradesh, with over 10,000 Madrasas, accounts for the largest number of religious schools, closely followed by Kerela (9,975), Madhya Pradesh (6,000), Bihar (3,500), Gujarat (1,825), Rajasthan (1,780), Karnataka (961) and Assam (721). This list includes two types of Madrasas: the first works within the government system by virtue of being ‘recognized’ at times also receiving grant-in-aid and the second are Madrasas that are outside the system and may and may not have introduced mainstream subjects into their curriculum. Bihar is said to have the largest number of recognized and assisted Madrasas (1,754). A significant number of these are reported to be higher level Madrasas, separate from
