Further, CBSE schools were asked to administer ‘Integrity Pledge’ in the school on 29.10.2019 for students, teachers and other staff members. However, Tuesday i.e. Oct 29 being a holiday in schools in Indore for Bhai Dooj, schools will administer the pledge on the next working day, i.e. today Oct 30.
The copy of the Integrity Pledge has been shared by the board with all its affiliated schools.
