As such for all the banned courses new applications are only being considered if the same is from an institution which has been issued a valid minority certificate from the Government Department responsible for issuing the same.
Several institutions from Andhra Pradesh that have applied to Southern Regional Committee- National Council for Teacher Education, for starting various teacher education programmes for the academic year 2011-12, under the category of minority institutions and Minority Certificates issued under the signatures of the Principal Secretary, Minorities Welfare (WAKF-II) Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh, are submitted in support of their minority status.
Several applications of such institutions were considered in the 205th Meeting of the Southern Regional Committee which was held on 18-19 May 2011 and it has been decided by the Committee to seek clarification regarding the genuineness of the following minority certificates issued by the Department which have been submitted by the institutions. It has been felt necessary to verify the genuineness of the same since in most cases it is observed that these have been issued for only one year 2011-12, subject to production of relevant documents relating to their minority status and inspection for admission of minority students etc. Further, it has also been observed that in some cases where the institution is issued with a Christian or Muslim minority status, there are no minority members in the said Society as reflected in the Society /Trust documents submitted with the application.
