Manipur: 25 schools lose CBSE affiliation over irregularities

Imphal: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has withdrawn the affiliation of 25 schools in Manipur with immediate effect.

The schools, located in the districts of Churachandpur and Kangpokpi, were recently granted affiliation by the CBSE.

The affiliation was withdrawn because the No Objection Certificates (NOCs) submitted by these schools were not issued by the authorized functionaries of the State Government.
