New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted a series of surprise inspections at 27 schools in Rajasthan and the national capital on Tuesday to check the ‘dummy school’ menace, top officials said.
The move comes six months after the board cancelled the affiliation of 20 schools for enrolling dummy students and ineligible candidates.
“These inspections were aimed at ensuring that the schools affiliated with the board are strictly adhering to the norms and bylaws set forth by CBSE. The inspections were carried out by 27 teams, each comprising a CBSE officer and a principal from a CBSE-affiliated school,” CBSE Secretary Himanshu Gupta said.
“The inspections were meticulously planned and executed in a synchronized manner, taking place simultaneously across all selected schools within a short timeframe,” he added.
Gupta said the approach was adopted to maintain the element of surprise, thereby ensuring that the information gathered about the operations and compliance of the schools is accurate and reflective of their everyday functioning.
“The findings from these inspections will be reviewed comprehensively, and appropriate actions will be taken in cases of non-compliance. CBSE reiterates its commitment to rigorous monitoring and will continue to conduct such surprise inspections to ensure that affiliated schools uphold the quality and standards expected by the board,” he added.

New Delhi: AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Tuesday welcomed reports claiming Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has shown interest in the possibility of an alliance with the Arvind Kejriwal-led party in poll-bound Haryana.
Singh told reporters that defeating the BJP is a priority of all the opposition parties and added any decision regarding the alliance will be taken with the approval of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal.
There were several reports claiming that Gandhi, in a meeting of Congress’ Central Election Committee (CEC) on Monday, expressed interest in the possibility of alliance with AAP for assembly polls in Haryana.
Voting on 90 assembly seats in Haryana will be held on October 5 and counting of votes will be undertaken on October 8.
“Defeating the BJP and its politics of hatred and politics against people, farmers and youth is a priority for all of us,” Singh said.
Singh, however, said any official stand on the issue will be made by AAP’s in-charge of Haryana affairs Sandeep Pathak and state president Sushil Gupta.
“Any final decision in this regard will be taken by our leaders associated with organisational and election-related works in Haryana, after the approval of Kejriwal,” said the senior AAP leader.
