The Uttar Pradesh (UP) Board of Secondary Education withdraws recognition from 465 self-financed schools that are described as non-functional. According to the reported account, the Board takes the administrative step automatically for schools that fail to send students to examinations and do not conduct regular classes for two consecutive academic sessions. The action applies to institutions including high schools and intermediate colleges across parts of the state, with reporting that mentions areas such as Prayagraj and Varanasi. The Board’s stated effect is that only schools that are actively running classes and engaging with the examination process retain their recognition status. Schools that lose recognition are therefore treated as no longer meeting the Board’s requirements for functioning as recognized institutions. The withdrawal is framed as part of an administrative measure to ensure compliance with academic and examination-related expectations, rather than a case-by-case punishment described in detail in the available reporting.
