The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has designated the Bhartiya Shiksha Board (BSB) as a pan-India school education body. The Union Education Ministry's higher education department has also approved it. This is a significant development for the BSB, which was established in 2019. The goal of the board is to provide students with a well-rounded education that integrates traditional Indian knowledge systems with modern science and technology.
The AICTE has notified engineering and technical institutes/colleges that the BSB has been approved as equivalent to other national school boards such as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the Indian Council of Secondary Education (ICSE).
Through an official notice, the AICTE informed that the Bhartiya Shiksha Board was founded on March 9, 2019, under the Maharishi Sandipani Rashtriya Ved Vidya Pratishthan (MSRVVP). The council further noted that the Association of Indian Universities has granted school boards in the country BSB equivalence. The AIU has granted equivalence to the Bhartiya Shiksha Board (BSB) Class 10 and 12 board examinations, and it will function as a normal school Board within India.
