Secretary CBSE has written to Directorate of Schools, State Education Department, Gujarat, to inquire into the matter.
CBSE has been asked to conduct the enquiry expeditiously and convey the outcome of the report and status of No Objection Certificate (NOC) issued by the Gujarat government to the school for seeking CBSE affiliation.
