G D Goenka High School Affiliation Halted by CBSE

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has suspended the affiliation of G D Goenka High School, Sohna, Gurugram, for the academic session 2026-27 following serious violations of affiliation norms. The decision comes after inspections revealed significant concerns regarding campus safety and infrastructure sharing.

Infrastructure Sharing Concerns

During the CBSE inspection, it was observed that the school was sharing its premises with two other institutions without proper segregation or a permanent boundary wall. Multiple educational entities were found operating on different floors of the same building, including a university program on the top floor.

Risks to Student Safety

CBSE highlighted that a shared campus without adequate physical segregation poses potential risks to students. These include exposure to bullying, harassment, and unwarranted interaction with students from other institutions. The Board emphasized that schools must maintain fully secured campuses inaccessible to outsiders to protect students.

Official CBSE Statement

The CBSE order stated, “A school campus shared with other institutions without proper demarcation or boundary walls exposes students to potential risks. It is imperative that schools maintain a campus that is fully secured and not accessible to outsiders.”

Duty of Schools

The Board reiterated that every school is responsible for taking corrective measures to ensure student safety. In the case of G D Goenka High School, the institution was unable to segregate the shared infrastructure promptly, prompting strict action from CBSE.

CBSE’s Orders and Directives

To address the violations and secure a safe learning environment, CBSE has issued the following orders for G D Goenka High School:
