Lucknow, Sep 1 (IANS): The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh has decided to conduct a survey in unrecognised madrasas to ascertain information on the number of students, teachers, curriculum and its affiliation with any non-government organisation.

All district magistrates have been issued instructions regarding the survey.
