Chairman'S Message
Delhi Board of Secondary and Senior Secondary Education were intended to be a medium for making education
easy for students who are unable to attend regular classes. The challenge before us was to make the instructional
delivery of curriculum convenient and as effective as regular classes for the students. It had to be a well planned and
organised extended learning endeavour which allowed students to pursue other activities without affecting their
learning. Reaching out to them through the online medium was an excellent way to deliver educational resources
and nullify the location constraint.
The National policy on Education suggested strengthening of DBSSSE for extending open learning facilities in a
phased manner at Secondary & Senior Secondary levels all over the country and abroad as an independent system
with its own curriculum and examination leading to awarding of certificates. This was intended to address the needs
of students or working professionals in India and abroad to further the cause of spreading education.
Spreading the cause of making education convenient through the internet was a novel initiative suggested by the
National policy on Education and we took this opportunity to start DBSSSE. The way our instructional delivery and
online facilitation of educational courses have expanded in India and abroad, it is a fulfillment of our aspiration to
play a pivotal role in making education convenient for students all over the world. DELHI BOARD OF
SECONDARY AND SENIOR SECONDARY EDUCATION was envisaged as a comprehensive instructional
delivery institution that offered the liberty to students to get education without the bottleneck of attending daily
classes. We have succeeded in creating a distance education program as a planned extended learning endeavor.
DELHI BOARD OF SECONDARY AND SENIOR SECONDARY EDUCATION has gained an expertise in
delivering instructional resources and thereby providing opportunities to students located away from the
organization.
We have expanded our distance education program in India and have now branched out abroad too.
With comprehensive online solutions for the students, our motto is to help everyone in need of quality education in all
corners of the world. The remarkable contribution of DELHI BOARD OF SECONDARY AND SENIOR
SECONDARY EDUCATION in the field of education has been that quality in education is available for many
streams of study. We work out a viable option for students or working professionals in India and abroad to upgrade
their skills.
The National policy on Education suggested strengthening of DELHI BOARD OF SECONDARY AND SENIOR
SECONDARY EDUCATION for extending open learning facilities in a phased manner at secondary & Senior
Secondary levels all over the country and abroad as an independent system with its own curriculum and
examination leading to awarding of certificates.
What makes DELHI BOARD OF SECONDARY AND SENIOR SECONDARY EDUCATION a convenient and
viable approach towards education is that students get the facility of online admission and their enrollment number
is given right away. Moreover, the online study material is provided in different languages as per the subjects opted
by the students or their preference. We also provide online verification of the results of the passed out students.
The Board has been established to promote educational, social and economic upliftment and general welfare of the
people of India, particularly the socially and economically backward sections of the Indian society by organizing
various types of educational programs.
The Board is built on a foundation to promote greater access to quality higher education, cutting-edge research and
contribution to the society. It provides generic skills together with flexibility, adaptability and passion for life-long
learning, while simultaneously equipping young people with the best basis for careers in any area, including
industry, and for the unforeseen needs of the future. The Board's guiding tenet is to nurture and mould talent. It is
also envisaged that the Board shall make significant contribution to the cultural, intellectual and social aspects of
the broader community. Professors and scholars working in the Board shall leverage their expertise to improve
local industry, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and regional institutions. It is believed that the
Board should build prospective as well as provide meaningful employment skills. In practice, undergraduate
education has been isolated from post-graduate and research institutions; further, the rigidity of the Indian higher
education system rarely allows students to learn across departments even within the same institutions. Here, I feel
proud to inform that the trajectory of DBSSSE Board include liberal arts and natural sciences programs being
offered alongside several professional programs the students having the flexibility to customize their education
from various offerings at the Board. The arts and science programs finally are the core of all the students. This Board
shall cater to the development and upliftment of the economic conditions and social welfare of the local indigenous
tribes of different states and also the local population as a whole.

The aims and objectives of the Board are to provide basic education for primary, high school, intermediate
which includes 10th & 12th Class courses. The mission of the Board is to achieve all round development and
growth for the masses through education.
1. Delhi Board of Secondary and Senior Secondary Education is an autonomous independent and
NonGovernmental Board for the conduct of Secondary and Senior Secondary School Examination,
providing an alternative to choose from either Government aided Boards or a Non-Government
independent Autonomous Body. The Board aims to provide education to all children, especially to those
in rural and remote areas, at least up to the Senior Secondary level. It is further submitted that the Board is
a private initiative for the establishment of a Non-Government Board for conducting 10th and 12th
Common Examination for students studying in schools affiliated and likely to be affiliated by Delhi Board
of Secondary and Senior Secondary Education.
2.
The Board trustees/members has the constitutional right under Article 19 (1) (g) to pursue any
profession or any occupation and running teaching institutes have been included as part of
occupation as held by Hon'ble Supreme Court in T.M.A. Pai Foundation Vs. State of Karnataka
(SC) 2003 (2) SCT 385. The relevant portion of the above said judgment is reproduced as under:“
Private education is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing segments of postsecondary education at the turn of the twenty first century. A combination of unprecedented
demand for access to higher education and the inability or unwillingness of government to
provide the necessary support has brought private higher education to the forefront. Private
institutions with a long history in many countries, are expanding in scope and number, and are
becoming increasingly important in parts of the world that relied almost entirely on the public
sector.
3. Not only has demand overwhelmed the ability of the governments to provide education,
there has also been a significant change in the way that higher education is perceived. The idea of
an academic degree as a “private good” that benefits the individual rather than a “public good”
for society is now widely (sic). The logic of today's economics and an ideology of privatization
have contributed to the resurgence of private higher education, and the establishing of private
institutions where none or very few existed before.
4.
The right to establish and administer broadly comprises of the following rights:-
a.
to admit students;
b.
to set up a reasonable fee structure;
c.
to constitute a governing body;
d.
to appoint staff (teaching and non-teaching); and
e.
to take action if there is dereliction of duty on the part of any employees.
5.
A University Education Commission was appointed on 4th November, 1948, having Dr. S.
Radhakrishnan as its Chairman and nine other renowned educationists as its Members. The terms of
reference, inter alia, included matters relating to means and objects of university education and
research in India and maintenance of higher standards of teaching and examination in universities
and colleges under their control. In the report submitted by this commission, in paras 29 and 31, it
referred to autonomy in education which reads as follows:“University Autonomy- Freedom of individual development is the basis of democracy.
Exclusive control of education by the State has been an important factor in facilitating the
maintenance of totalitarian tyrannies. In such States institutions of higher learning controlled
and managed by governmental agencies act like mercenaries, promote the political purposes of
the State, make them acceptable to an increasing number of their populations and supply them
with the weapons they need. We must resist, in the interests of our own democracy, the trend
towards the governmental domination of the educational process.
Higher education is, undoubtedly, an obligation of the State but State aid is not to be confused
4
with State control over academic policies and practices. Intellectual progress demands the
maintenance of the spirit of free inquiry. The pursuit and practice of truth regardless of
consequences has been the ambition of universities. Their prayer is that of the dying Goethe:
“More light” or that of Ajax in the mist “Light, though I perish in the light”.
The respect in which the universities of Great Britain are held is due to the freedom from
governmental interference which they enjoy constitutionally and actually. Our universities
should be released from the control of politics.
Liberal Education- All education is expected to be liberal. It should free us from the shackles of
ignorance, prejudice and unfounded belief. If we are incapable of achieving the good life, it is
due to faults in our inward being, to the darkness in us. The process of education is the slow
conquering of this darkness. To lead us from darkness to light, to free us from every kind of
domination except that of reason, is the aim of education”
6. There cannot be a better exposition than what has been observed by these renowned
educationists with regard to autonomy in education. The aforesaid passage clearly shows that the
governmental domination of the educational process must be resisted. Another pithy
observation of the Commission was that state aid was not to be confused with state control over
academic policies and practices. The observations referred to hereinabove clearly contemplate
educational institutions soaring to great heights in pursuit of intellectual excellence and being
free from unnecessary government controls.”
7.
The only reasonable restriction on the exercise of this right can be imposed under Article 19 (1) (g)
and is imposed in clause 19 (6). The only restriction is that State can make the law imposing
reasonable restriction in the interest of general public or any restriction regarding profession and
technical qualification necessary for practicing any profession or occupation, trade or business.
Since so far no such professional or technical qualification have been notified, therefore, the
trustees/members of the Board through their Society have a fundamental right to carry on the
profession / occupation of running the Institutes which imparts education.
8.
We want to also clarify that some states an objection has been pointed out to the name of the Board in
private sector but later all such objections have been resolved after the Board pointed out that the
world “Board” / “Council” is not reserved by any statute that it cannot be used by any other trust.
Many Boards/Councils had applied to the Registration Authority and they have approved of the name
of “Board” /Council. If there would have been any objection to its name or this name is not permitted
by law then the Registrar would not had registered it.
9.
It is also pertinent to mention here that one of the prominent and well known Boards providing
Secondary and Senior Secondary Examinations for the students all over the country is the Council for
Indian School Certificate Examinations (ICSE), which is a registered society. So is the CBSE which
stands for Central Board of Secondary Education.
10. Under HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION ACT, 1993 autonomous bodies have been given special
protection & consideration (For further details refer: AIR 1993 SC-2178).
11. In the case of State of MP vs Nivedita Jain AIR 1981, SC held that complete relaxation of qualifying
marks for SCs/STs in Pre-Medical Examinations for admission to medical college colleges is valid.
12. The 93rd Constitution Amendment Act, termed by Minister of Human Resource Development,
Arjun Sing as only a piece of “enabling legislation”, may have opened Pandora;s box by amending
Article 15 of the constitution to provide for reservation for OBCs in all “educational Institution”
including private, whether aided or un aided, excepting minority educational institutions.
13. The Indian Parliament has passed the 104th Constitution Amendment Bill, providing reservations
the socially and educationally backward classes, besides the Scheduled Classes and Scheduled
Tribes, In tall private aided and unaided educational institutions.
