On December 29, 2025, India’s Central Board of Secondary Education issued a bombshell decision, suspending G D Goenka High School in Sohna, Gurugram’s affiliation for the entire 2026-27 academic year. The drastic action follows discovery of critical safety and infrastructure violations that compromised student security.

🔍 Violations Uncovered in Recent Inspection

CBSE inspectors revealed the school was operating multiple institutions across all floors of the same building without proper separation. Key violations included:

• No mandatory six-foot pucca boundary wall
• Shared entry/exit points creating safety hazards
• Absence of dedicated Composite Science Laboratory
• Incomplete documentation violating Affiliation Bye-Laws 2018

The shared campus setup with other schools and university programs posed serious risks to over hundreds of students daily.

⚖️ Strict Compliance Orders Mandated

CBSE’s official order demands immediate action:

• Complete disengagement of all other institutions from premises
• Construction of proper boundary walls and separate access points
• Exclusive campus use dedicated solely to school students
• No resource or staff sharing permitted

While current students in Classes 9-12 can complete their studies, no new admissions to Classes 9 or 11 will be allowed during the suspension period.

🚨 Nationwide Warning to Schools

This high-profile case signals CBSE’s zero-tolerance policy for safety lapses. The board granted a sympathetic one-year rectification period considering existing students’ interests, but emphasized schools must prioritize secure, exclusive learning environments.

Education authorities across India are watching closely as this precedent could trigger similar inspections nationwide. Schools sharing infrastructure now face heightened scrutiny ahead of the 2026 academic session.
