DHAKA, Oct 01, 2025 (BSS) - Education Adviser Prof Dr Chowdhury Rafiqul Abrar today said that the ground of Government Madrasah-e-Alia in Dhaka's Bakshibazar area, previously occupied during the tenure of the former government, will be returned to the madrasah authorities. 

"The process of returning the ground to its rightful authorities has already begun. The ground was taken over during the tenure of the previous government to set up a special court on the premises. It will be removed following due procedure," he said. 

The adviser said these while addressing the 246th founding anniversary celebration of Government Madrasah-e-Alia on the madrasah premise here as the chief guest.

Dr Abrar further said that special development projects have been taken up for three Alia Madrasahs across the country, including Dhaka Alia, to improve their infrastructure and academic environment. 

He also assured that effective steps will be taken to resolve the shortage of teachers and the residential problems of students at Dhaka Alia Madrasah. 

Presided over by Principal of Dhaka Alia Madrasah Obaidul Haque, the event was also addressed, among others, by Religious Affairs Adviser Dr AFM Khalid Hossain, Secretary of the Madrasah and Technical Education Division of the Ministry of Education Rafiqul Islam and Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board Chairman Professor Mian Muhammad Nurul Haq.

Speaking on the occasion as the special guest, Religious Affairs Adviser Dr AFM Khalid Hossain said there is no alternative to madrasah education in establishing social and moral values in society.
“Madrasah is a factory for producing scholars and ulamas. Students must take proper religious education from madrasahs to instill ethical values in the community,” he said.

He emphasized that real religious education should be imparted to students so that they can apply their knowledge in real life and contribute meaningfully to society. 

Khalid further noted that the current government is giving special importance to religious education and simultaneously working toward the modernization of madrasah education to align with contemporary academic and social needs.

Referring to Dhaka Alia Madrasah, he urged the students of Dhaka Alia Madrasah to receive quality education aiming to take the country forward in coming days.
