CBSE Warns Schools After Agra-Based Society’s Registration Cancelled for Misusing Board’s Name

CBSE in its circular has stated that it has no association, affiliation or endorsement with CBSE-WSO and cautioned schools against engaging with the group in any form.

Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued an advisory to all affiliated schools after the Registrar of Firms, Societies and Chits, Agra cancelled the registration of the CBSE Board School Games Welfare Society (CBSE-WSO) for allegedly using the Board’s name without authorisation.

The notice states that according to Registrar’s order, the society’s registration has been revoked due to the unauthorised and misleading use of the term “CBSE”, which the Board clarified was done without its consent.

CBSE in its circular has stated that it has no association, affiliation or endorsement with CBSE-WSO and cautioned schools against engaging with the group in any form.

The Board has instructed all affiliated institutions to avoid supporting, sponsoring, or sending students to any sports events, activities or programmes organised or promoted by the now-derecognised society. Schools have been asked to treat all its communications and claims as unauthorised and invalid.

CBSE further advised schools to exercise due diligence while responding to any such external organisations using CBSE’s name or branding without approval. For clarifications, schools have been urged to use the Board’s official communication channels.
