With more than 8000 affiliated schools and over 5 lakh students, the board has delivered quality education while being self-sustained and financially independent.<\/p>\n<p>Jamwal pointed out that HPBOSE already follows NCERT-based curriculum with proper copyright licensing. \u201cSo why the need to shift schools to CBSE?\u201d he questioned, calling the move politically motivated and aimed at misleading the public rather than improving education standards.<\/p>\n<p>He also accused the Congress-led state government of delaying Rs. 87 crore due to the Board, which is affecting its financial operations. He said the HP Board employs 325 staff and supports 427 pensioners, and weakening such a robust institution reflects the &#8220;narrow-mindedness&#8221; of the current regime.<\/p>\n<p>Citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s PM SHRI scheme, launched in 2022 to promote modern and quality education, Jamwal said the Congress government is instead dismantling established institutions for political gains.<\/p>\n<p>He also raised concerns over the state of <em>Sardar Patel University<\/em>, established in Mandi during the tenure of former CM Jai Ram Thakur. \u201cIt was created to reduce the burden on Himachal Pradesh University and ensure timely results for students. Now, the Congress government has reduced its affiliated colleges from 122 to just 30, weakening the very purpose of its creation,\u201d Jamwal alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Jamwal warned that such actions by the state government are not just administrative errors but deliberate steps to destabilize the educational framework of Himachal Pradesh.<\/p>\n<p>He demanded the immediate rollback of the CBSE affiliation decision and urged the government to strengthen both HP Board and Sardar Patel University.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Education is not a political battleground. It is the identity, future, and pride of Himachal\u2019s youth,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>BJP district president Nihal Chand, Zila Parishad Chairman Pal Verma, General Secretary Karan, and Media In-charge Rakesh Walia were also present at the press conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BJP Slams Congress Govt for Undermining HP Board and Sardar Patel University.\u00a0 &nbsp;
