CBSE mandates schools to install CCTVs
Hindustan Times Noida
|July 22, 2025
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), in a notification issued on Monday, mandated the installation of high-resolution CCTV cameras with audiovisual recording in all its affiliated schools to ensure students’ safety.
The new norms mandate schools to install cameras at entry and exit points, corridors, staircases, classrooms, labs, libraries, canteens, playgrounds, and other common areas, excluding toilets and washrooms, with real-time audiovisual recording and a minimum 15-day storage backup, “which may be accessed by the authorities, if required”.
CBSE secretary Himanshu Gupta said in the notification, “All the affiliated schools shall strictly adhere to this provision in letter and spirit for the safety of school children.” He said that data on how many schools installed CCTV will be collected after a month.
