worker protest at sansad marg press releasePRESS RELEASE 7/07/2008 FROM social worker Mr. Parhlad Kumar Aggarwal
+91-9911099737
Under the directions of social worker Mr. Parhlad Kumar Aggarwal CBSE’s
daily vase worker’s protest going on under Gandhigiri with rose. There way
of protesting is not a violent act at all rather to make people realize
their importance they are presenting to them with roses. CBSE’s daily vase
worker’s are protesting peacefully since 21st June 2008 to get their
demands fulfilled. It came to notice they were fired from their work on
30th June 2008 while their term was due for first week of September. They
were demanding to give them their jobs back and provide them with their
complete wage of the whole year. Apart from this they demanded not to
treat them like slaves, like other workers they must also be provided
with basic facilities. Mr. Parhlad Kumar Aggarwal who is protesting on
behalf of these workers told that these workers are buying these flowers
from the money that they had kept for milking their children so that the
protest may go on smoothly in spite of these the government is not paying
attention towards this, may be because the government only understands the
language of violence (like recentlyk happened in Gujjar aandolan). Our
government should treat all the protest equally and understand the need
behind this. It must be understand that these workers are imparting their
services since 14 years, so rather than making new appointments on these
posts, why don’t make these workers permanent. Rather our government
system is promoting contract system of working labor; the basic reason for
this is the illegal way of getting money with the mean association of the
contractors and the concerned officers. Government need to ban this
contractual system considering it a bounded labor system and as soon as
possible apply the system of equal pay for equal work so that frequent
committing of suicides and deaths because of huger may be stopped. These
workers are not bagging rather they are demanding deserving rights and
protesting against government rules since long time by applications. Now,
finding no other way, they have to choose the way of protesting which is
again not violent rather a complete peaceful protest and for this their
way is presenting flowers to the concerned officers. In spite of being
hungry by themselves they are sending their petitions to the government
along with flowers and doing candle-march to show light to the government
which has sunk in darkness, in bright sunlight. In spite of this, Human
Resource Development Ministry and CBSE are not ready to accept our demands
and are not ready to talk which is clearly evident of the fact the our
democratic Indian government is violent rather non-violent, and this is
completely unconstitutional.

Party, in support of these daily wage workers of CBSE, are protesting with
flowers and candles in hand at Jantar-Mantar, New Delhi, and concerned

cbse (Central Board of Secondary Education)
Historical Background
A trail of developments mark the significant changes that took place over
the years in shaping up the Board to its present status. U P Board of
High School and Intermediate Education was the first Board set up in 1921.
It has under its jurisdiction Rajputana, Central India and Gwalior. In
response to the representation made by the Government of United
Provinces, the then Government of India suggested to set up a joint Board
in 1929 for all the areas which was named as the ‘ Board of High School
and Intermediate Education, Rajputana. This included Ajmer, Merwara,
Central India and Gwalior.
The Board witnessed rapid growth and expansion at the level of Secondary
education resulting in improved quality and standard of education in
institutions. But with the advent of State Universities and State Boards
in various parts of the country the jurisdiction of the Board was confined
only to Ajmer, Bhopal and Vindhya Pradesh later. As a result of this, in
1952 , the constitution of the Board was amended wherein its jurisdiction
was extended to part-C and Part-D territories and 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 were
those of : serving 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.
Jurisdiction
The jurisdiction of the Board is extensive and stretches beyond the
national geographical boundaries. As a result of the reconstitution, the
erstwhile ‘ Delhi Board of Secondary Education’ was merged with the
Central Board and thus all the educational institutions recognized by the
Delhi Board also became a part of the Central Board . Subsequently, all
the schools located in the Union Territory of Chandigarh. Andaman and
Nicobar Island, Arunachal Pradesh, the state of Sikkim , and now
Jharkhand, Uttaranchal and Chhattisgarh have also got affiliation with
the Board. From 309 schools in 1962 the Board today has 8979 schools on
31-03-2007 including 141 schools in 21 countries. There are 897 Kendriya
Vidyalayas, 1761 Government Schools, 5827 Independent Schools, 480 Jawahar
Novodaya Vidyalayas and 14 Central Tibetean Schools.
Decentralisation
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 regional offices in
Allahabad , Ajmer, Chennai, Guwahati, Panchkula and Delhi. Schools
located outside India are looked after by regional office Delhi. For
detailed jurisdiction of regional offices of CBSE click here. The
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.
Financial Structure
CBSE is a self-financing body which meets the recurring and non-recurring
expenditure without any grant-in-aid either from the Central Govt. or from
any other source. All the financial requirements of the Board are met
from the annual examination charges, affiliation fee, admission fee for
PMT. All India Engineering Entrance Examination and sale of Board’s
publications.
Major Activities and Objectives
The Central Board of Secondary Education was set up to achieve certain
interlinked objectives:
Ø To prescribe conditions of examinations and conduct public
examination at the end of Class X and XII . To grant qualifying
certificates to successful candidates of the affiliated schools.
Ø To fulfill the educational requirements of those students whose
parents were employed in transferable jobs.
Ø To prescribe and update the course of instructions of examinations
Ø To affiliate institutions for the purpose of examination and raise
the academic standards of the country.
The prime focus of the Board is on
Ø Innovations in teaching-learning methodologies by devising students
friendly and students centered paradigms.
Ø Reforms in examinations and evaluation practices.
Ø Skill learning by adding job-oriented and job-linked inputs.
Ø Regularly updating the pedagogical skills of the teachers and
