Uttar Pradesh State Open School Boardb (UPSOSB)

The Uttar Pradesh State Open School Board (UPSOSB) is dedicated to providing quality education up to the secondary level for educationally disadvantaged students in Uttar Pradesh. Aiming to integrate girls and children from weaker sections of society into mainstream education, the Government of Uttar Pradesh replaced Patrachar Shiksha Sansthan Allahabad with the UPSOSB in 2008 through an Act known as The Uttar Pradesh State Open School Board Act, 2008 (U.P Act No. 27 of 2008), passed by the Uttar Pradesh Legislature on 29 August 2008.

Mission and Objectives

The UPSOSB serves as a bridge between the government and rural or backward classes, functioning as an autonomous body to promote and disseminate education at both the state and national levels. The board strives to:

Rapidly transform rural outreach.

Provide support to SC/ST/OBC/General students, dropouts, over-aged individuals, and other weaker, marginalized, and deprived sections of society.

Promote the upliftment of disadvantaged groups and women, regardless of caste, creed, color, religion, or language.

Eradicate poverty and illiteracy, fostering self-dependence through social, cultural, health, educational, and economic advancements.
