The Telangana government on Monday issued the order constituing its own Board of Intermediate Education with retrospective effect from the date of formation of the new State on June 2.
The government adapted the Andhra Pradeshy Board of Intermediate Education Act, 1971, for the purpose of constituting the new board with Higher Education Secretary Vikas Raj as its secretary. It will have a chairman, ten ex-officio members comprising commissioners of various departments of education and members nominated by government. Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had signed the file relating to the board on Saturday but the order was issued by the higher education department only today.
