Answer 2

The correct option to the above question is (3), which is by state governments.

• A School has to have affiliation from the State Board. It doesn’t matter if it is eventually affiliated to CBSE / ICSE or State Board. Education is a state subject, hence they can have any affiliation but State Board Affiliation / Permission is mandatory.
• As per the government’s norms, the administrative power of the school should be vested in a Not-for-profit society or trust. Every state has an office of Registrar where society can be registered.
• Therefore, to start a school in any area, the competent authority to grant permission is the State government.
