Heralding yet another appeasement measure, the central government has decided to place madrasa certificates on a par with those issued by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and affiliates of the Council of Board of School Education in India (COBSE). This would make the pass-outs from madrasas eligible for jobs under the government of India. Minister Arjun Singh who made this announcement also mentioned that government will very soon set up Central Madrasa Board.
