In accordance with SARAS Manual 5.0, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has published a notification outlining the necessary paperwork that schools must submit in order to be affiliated with the board. Educational institutions wishing to apply for New Affiliation, Upgrade, or Extension need to provide a number of documents, such as a Building Safety Certificate and a Land Certificate.
Clauses 1.3(3) and 1.3 (5) of the SARAS Manual 5.0 provide that schools have to submit a Land Certificate in the required format and no older than a year from the date of application.
The Building Safety Certificate must detail all building blocks and floors on the school campus and must be issued by an officer of the Government works department, not below the rank of an Assistant Engineer.
The CBSE notification also addresses concerns raised by schools and stakeholders about the challenges in obtaining Land Certificates, particularly for schools situated on land allocated by Urban Land Development Authorities or public sector entities.
