Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has linked the decision to shift the weekly holiday for madrasas from Friday to Sunday with the state’s broader push for uniformity across educational institutions.

Speaking in Dehradun, Dhami referred to the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), which he said has already been introduced in Uttarakhand. He said the state wants all educational institutions to work in the same direction.

“We have already introduced a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state. There should be a uniform system for everyone. All educational institutions should operate in the same direction, and we are working towards that goal,” Dhami said.

The change means that the weekly holiday followed by madrasas in Uttarakhand is being shifted from Friday to Sunday. Dhami’s remarks focused on the policy rationale rather than providing further details about its implementation.

Char Dham pilgralso highlighted

During the same remarks, Dhami said Uttarakhand had received the blessings of the 4 Char Dham shrines: Lord Badri Vishal, Baba Kedar, Gangotri Dham and Yamunotri Dham.

He said the pilgrto all 4 shrines had proceeded smoothly and safely this year. According to Dhami, a new record had also been set during the pilgrseason.

The chief minister described the development as a matter of happiness for the state, but said the record turnout would create a challenge for future years. He added that preparations had already begun to improve arrangements for upcoming pilgrseasons.

The comments place the madrasa holiday decision and pilgrplanning within 2 separate areas of state administration: a common schedule for educational institutions and improved arrangements for future Char Dham seasons.

Conclusion

Dhami said the Sunday holiday for madrasas supports Uttarakhand’s aim of a uniform system across educational institutions, while preparations are being made to improve arrangements after a smooth Char Dham pilgrseason that set a new record.
