The Nai Manzil scheme was launched in 2018, to bridge the educational gap of certain minorities in general and particularly Muslims. This will be achieved by distance learning and open schooling through bridge courses, with public education first followed by vocational training.
The central government of India is providing a sum of 3,738 crores for implementing the scheme, which will be implemented all over India in all Madrasas. The world bank has also agreed to invest in this scheme a sum of $50 million.
