Dehradun School loses affiliation by CBSE after student’s gangrape The affiliation of a leading private boarding school has been cancelled by CBSE after it allegedly kept hidden the gangrape of a minor student for over a month. An order was issued by the CBSE cancelling the affiliation of GRD World School, Bhauwala, for not giving a satisfactory reply to a show-cause notice served on it by the regional office of the board in the wake of the incident, Regional Officer CBSE, Dehradun, Ranvir Singh said. The action follows a recommendation to this effect by the state government after the chief education officer visited the school premises following the incident and found it guilty of violating various norms, he added. The school did not have CCTV cameras and security staff on the campus to keep u with the norms of the education board. Meanwhile, guardians of students already enrolled in the school have nothing to fear as they will be taken care of by the board. Nine people, including four students of the same school including its director and principal, have already been apprehended in connection with the case. The incident took place on August 14 and came to light on September 16 despite the school authorities knowing about it. -PTC News
