CBSE issues show cause notice to Jaipur school for non-compliance with POCSO and anti-bullying Act guidelines

Neerja Modi School in Jaipur is under CBSE investigation after a nine-year-old student reportedly committed suicide following repeated bullying. The inspection revealed severe safety lapses, including inadequate CCTV monitoring, unprotected staircases, and failure to follow POCSO and anti-bullying Act guidelines. Despite multiple parental complaints, the school took no corrective action. CBSE has issued a show cause notice and directed the school to respond within 30 days, warning of penalties or possible cancellation of affiliation.
