The CBSE has sought a report from the Gujarat Education Department on how land of a school was leased out to self-styled godman Nithyananda’s ashram in Ahmedabad without its permission, according to officials.
“The board has written to the department to inquire into the matter of leasing out land of DPS, Maninagar, Ahmedabad, to Swami Nithyananda ashram without permission of the board,” a senior CBSE official said. “It has been asked to conduct the inquiry and convey the outcome of the report,” the official added.
