The Board has developed and expanded significantly from year 1929 (which was then named as the ‘Board of High School and Intermediate Education, Rajputana) to reach to its present status. In year 1952, the Board was given its present name ‘Central Board of Secondary Education’. It was in the year 1962 finally that the Board was reconstituted. The main objectives of the Board were to serve the educational institutions more effectively, to be responsive to the educational needs of those students whose parents were employed in the Central Government and had frequently transferable jobs.
The Board has grown at a rapid pace over the years and its present jurisdiction has stretches beyond the national geographical boundaries. From 309 schools in 1962, the Board as on 28.06.2024 has 29340 schools in India and 257 schools in 25 foreign countries. There are 1247 Kendriya Vidyalayas, 5280 Government/Aided Schools, 22408 Independent Schools, 648 Jawahar Novodaya Vidyalayas and 14 Central Tibetan Schools.
In order to execute its functions effectively, Regional Offices have been set up by the Board in different parts of the country to be more responsive to the affiliated schools. the Board has 18 Regional Offices & COE’s located at Ajmer, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Dehradun, Delhi (East), Delhi (West), Dubai (UAE), Guwahati, Noida, Panchkula, Patna, Prayagraj, Pune, Thiruvananthapuram and Vijayawada locations.
The CBSE headquarter constantly monitors the activities of the Regional Offices. Although, sufficient powers have been vested with the Regional Offices, issues involving policy matters are, however, referred to the Head office. Matters pertaining to day-to-day administration, liaison with schools, pre and post examination arrangements are all dealt with by the respective regional offices.
CBSE envisions a robust, vibrant and holistic school education that may engender excellence in every sphere of human endeavor. The Board is committed to provide quality education to promote intellectual, social and cultural vivacity among its learners.

The Board advocates and pledges to provide a stress-free learning environment that may develop competent, confident, and enterprising citizens who promote harmony and peace.
CBSE aims to facilitate learning for physical, emotional, social and intellectual wellbeing of students. The CBSE, a pace-setting National Board of School Education in the country, always aspires and endeavors to be a center of excellence for providing quality education by continuously working on the educational standards to meet the national and global needs through the process of affiliating schools and conducting examinations of classes X and XII as well as other exams as entrusted from time to time.

Fundamental Rights
The fundamental rights were included in the Constitution of India because they were considered essential for the development of the personality of every individual and to preserve human dignity. The writers of the constitution regarded democracy of no avail if civil liberties, like freedom of speech and religion, were not recognised and protected by the State. According to them, “democracy” is, in essence, a government by opinion and therefore, the means of formulating public opinion should be secured to the people of a democratic nation.
For this purpose, the constitution guaranteed to all the citizens of India the freedom of speech and expression and various other freedoms in the form of the fundamental rights.
The six fundamental rights are:
- Right to Equality (Article 14 – 18)
- Right to Freedom (Article 19 – 22)
- Right against Exploitation (Article 23 – 24)
- Right to Freedom and Religion (Article 25 – 28)
- Cultural and Educational Rights (Article 29 – 30)
- Right to Constitutional Remedies (Article 32 – 35)
If the fundamental rights provided by the constitution are violated, the Supreme Court and the High Courts can issue writs under Articles 32 and 226 of the Constitution, respectively, directing the State Machinery for enforcement of the fundamental rights.
All people, irrespective of race, religion, caste or gender, have been given the right to petition the Supreme Court of the High Courts for the enforcement of their fundamental rights. It is not necessary that the aggrieved party has to be the one to do so. Poverty-stricken people may not have means to do so and therefore, in the public interest, anyone can commence litigation in the court on their behalf. This is known as “public interest litigation”. In some cases, High Court judges have acted suo moto on their own on the basis of newspaper reports.

Educate, Organise, Agitate
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar (popularly known as Babasaheb) has given this clarion call (slogan) to his followers because he believed that caste-based marginalisation had led millions of Dalits into abject mental and physical poverty, and stripped them of their humanity. The three pillars of the clarion call will guide the way towards emancipation, freedom, justice, equality, fraternity and liberty as guaranteed by the Indian Constitution.
His call has three components and let us understand each one:
- Educate – This emphasizes the importance of acquiring and spreading of knowledge and awareness. It involves educating self and individuals about social issues, injustices, and the need for change. Education is seen as a powerful tool to enlighten people, fostering understanding and critical thinking.
- Organise – Organizing involves bringing people together, forming groups/associations/societies/trusts/etc. for developing collective wisdom, establishing movements to collectively address issues and work towards a common goal.
- Agitate – Agitation refers to actively and passionately and in compliance to the law of land, advocating for change. Agitation is the action phase of the strategy, where individuals actively push (by all legal means available at their disposal) for the implementation of the desired changes.
Stand-up India
Stand-up India Scheme facilitates bank loans between Rs.10 Lakh and Rs.1 Crore to at least one Scheduled Caste (SC) or Scheduled Tribe (ST) borrower and at least one woman borrower per bank branch for setting up a greenfield enterprise. This enterprise may be in manufacturing, services, agri-allied activities or the trading sector. In case of non-individual enterprises at least 51% of the shareholding and controlling stake should be held by either an SC/ST or woman entrepreneur.
SC-ST Hub
The National SC-ST Hub has been set up to provide professional support to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Entrepreneurs to fulfil the obligations under the Central Government Public Procurement Policy for Micro and Smal Enterprises Order 2012, adopt applicable business practices and leverage the Stand Up India Initiative. The Hub was launched on October 18, 2016.
The Hub is being implemented by the National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC), a public sector undertaking under the administrative control of the Ministry of MSME.
The Hub supports existing SC/ST entrepreneurs and enterprises in technological upgradation and capacity building thereby enabling them to effectively participate in government procurement process. This would involve active participation by CPSEs/Central Ministries, States, Industy Associations such as DICCI and others. Selected entrepreneurs would be provided with support and mentoring by industry experts, CPSEs & Incubators
The main action points include:
- To encourage SC/ST owned units to achieve their share of at least 4% of total procurement being made by Central/State Governments, CPSEs and other government agencies
- To prepare strategy for intervention through industry associations to sensitize, encourage and enable the SC/ST owned units for participation in Public Procurement Process
- Collection, collation and dissemination of information regarding SC/ST enterprises and entrepreneurs
- Facilitating SC/ST Entrepreneurs to be part of vendor development programs and mentoring support by specific CPSE matching the products/services of such entrepreneurs
- Facilitating SC/ST Entrepreneurs’ participation in Public Procurement through the e-platform of DGS&D and monitoring the progress
