Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has withdrawn its affiliation from as many as 25 government schools in ethnic violence ravaged Manipur.
The CBSE following the request of the schools has recently given its affiliation to 25 schools mostly in hill districts.
Joint Secretary Education (School), Manipur Anjali Chongtham on Tuesday said that the CBSE has withdrawn the affiliation, which was recently granted to the 25 schools on the ground that the NOC (No Objection Certificate) submitted by these schools has not been issued by the authorised functionaries of the state government and for cancellation of affiliation as requested by the state government by its letter on December 15.
“....it is also clarified that necessary action will be initiated against those responsible for flouting rules and regulations of the state government or of CBSE.
If any school is found not following due process in the future, necessary action will be initiated against them also, apart from withdrawing of affiliation by competent authority,” Chongtham said in a statement.
Earlier, a huge controversy broke out over CBSE affiliations to schools from the few hill districts of Manipur.
Manipur Education Minister Thounaojam Basanta kumar Singh had told the media that the last time the state government gave NOC for CBSE affiliation was in May 2020.
