In February, the Central Board of Secondary Education was accused of acting as a PR agency for the Narendra Modi government when it decided to add G20 logos to the admit cards of students appearing for their Class 10 and 12 board exams. But it wasn’t the first such move by the CBSE.
Since 2014, the CBSE, under the union education ministry, has repeatedly asked its affiliated schools to carry out activities, including essay competitions and quiz programmes, to raise awareness about key schemes and campaigns launched by the central government, according to an analysis of CBSE circulars by Newslaundry.
