Imphal: The Government of Manipur will soon issue an ordinance that will prevent affiliation of educational institutes in the state to the board of secondary education of any other state of the country.

The decision was taken by the Government in response to a recent notification by the Nagaland Government which states that any educational institute located outside Nagaland could affiliate itself to the Nagaland Board of Secondary Education (NBSE) 'if so desired.'

As per the provision in the proposed ordinance, any educational institute or school of Manipur would not be allowed to be affiliated to any board of secondary education outside the state without the prior permission of the Manipur Government.

Furthermore, no examination centres of any other state Board of Secondary Education (BSE) in Manipur would be allowed without the prior permission from BSE, Manipur.

"The state cabinet had earlier decided and even drafted an ordinance on the issue but it would be discussed again in the cabinet before seeking assent of the Governor," a senior official of the Government said.
