The Jammu and Kashmir government has initiated the takeover of 215 schools linked to the banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) organization, following concerns from intelligence agencies regarding their affiliations. This action aims to ensure the academic future of students by placing school management under the control of local authorities. The process includes verifying and establishing new management committees to maintain educational standards. This measure underscores the government’s commitment to counter extremism and safeguard the integrity of education in the region, aligning with broader national security strategies to dismantle unlawful organizations and their influence on youth.
