CBSE opens sub-regional office at Agartala

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has opened its first sub-

regional office at Agartala, aiming to strengthen and decentralise the state's academic

administration.

The state government has long been trying to have an administrative setup here as BUP-led

government in Tripura introduced CBSE curriculum and affiliated over 200 schools, which were

earlier under Tripura Board of Secondary Education (TBSE).

"The newly opened office in Agartala on October 5^th last, will streamline CBSE-related services for schools, students, and teachers of the state.

Until now, CBSE-affiliated schools in Tripura had to coordinate with the Guwahati regional

office, which often led to logistical challenges and delays,” said Director Secondary Education N

C Sharma.

The newly opened sub-regional office here will provide a range of services, including admission

assistance, subject and student record corrections, exam Centre coordination, mark sheet

corrections, grievance redressal, and teacher training facilitation, which was done from

Guwahati earlier.

It will also work closely with state education bodies and regional educational institutions to

ensure the smooth conduct of examinations and to enhance student development initiatives.

Sharma stated that the move is expected to greatly benefit students, teachers, parents, and

school administrators, improving communication, efficiency, and support for the CBSE

ecosystem in Tripura.

The upcoming modern building will feature dedicated administrative sections, training facilities,

a data management center, and a grievance redressal unit, transforming it into a comprehensive

academic and advisory hub for schools, teachers, and students.

According to officials, the upcoming Agartala building will serve as an administrative office and

"Center for Edueational Guidance and Development”, where teachers, administrators, and

students can collaborate on educational innovation and policy implementation.
