Document scrutiny
CBSE's rigorous verification process uncovers forgery
The CBSE has a strict process of verifying important documents, including land certificates, submitted by schools for affiliation.
In this case, the board found that Manava Bhawna Public School and Sat Saheb Public School submitted fake land certificates.
"It was found that the land certificates have not been issued by the concerned authorities and the schools have submitted fake/forged land certificates with the Board," CBSE said in a press release.
Official statement
CBSE Secretary underscores commitment to document verification
CBSE Secretary Himanshu Gupta emphasized the board's dedication to meticulously scrutinizing documents while granting affiliation.
"While considering the applications, the board conducts a very strict scrutiny of the essential documents submitted by the schools and, in order to establish the genuineness, the documents are also verified from issuing authority," Gupta said.
This incident reiterates CBSE's commitment to maintaining high standards in affiliation and ensuring adherence to its Affiliation Bye-Laws 2018.
Compliance enforcement
CBSE's recent actions against non-compliant schools
The legal action against the two Delhi schools comes after the CBSE had recently issued show-cause notices to over 30 schools for failing to comply with its rules and provisions.
The board has also warned schools against participating in events organized by the 'CBSE Board School Games Welfare Society' (CBSE-WSO), clarifying that it is not affiliated with CBSE.
These measures highlight CBSE's commitment to enforcing compliance and maintaining high standards in education.
