HRD Minister Smriti Irani has sought an explanation from CBSE over the spelling mistakes in a congratulatory letter sent on her behalf to a schoolteacher for the good results in the board exams.
The letter sent by the CBSE went “viral” soon after a teacher posted it on social media.. Irani’s name is spelt incorrectly in Hindi as well as the words “Minister” and “sansadhan (in Hindi)”. “I have sought an explanation from CBSE as there was spelling mistakes in some of the letters,” Irani said to reporters. CBSE has apologised for the mistake.
Congratulatory letters are sent by the HRD Minister every year to the top performers of CBSE board examinations as well as to teachers.
