Summary:
New Delhi, Jan 23 (PTI) More than two decades after it was founded, Druk Padma Karpo School in Ladakh, popularly known as "Rancho"s school", may get the much-awaited CBSE affiliation this year as it got the clearance from the Jammu and Kashmir board after a long delay.
As per the affiliation norms of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), schools require a ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the respective state board.
The foreign schools require a similar document from the concerned Embassy or Consulate of India in the concerned country.
The school which shot to fame after it featured in the Aamir Khan-starrer movie "3 Idiots" in 2009, is presently affiliated to Jammu and Kashmir State Board of School Education (JKBOSE).
"We have been trying to get our school affiliated to the CBSE for many years," school principal Mingur Agmo told PTI.
"Though we have all the required infrastructure in place, excellent result record, and focus on innovative ways of teaching and learning, we didn’t get the NOC from JKBOSE despite several attempts all these years," she said.
