CBSE launched a 'Dost For Life' application on 7 May, which is now available at the Google Play Store, to help the psycho-social wellness of students of the class 9-12.
CBSE, which used current telephone call counselling practises with the use of country-wide toll-free numbers, has now abandoned it. The Board has designed the facility for easy access and convenience to parents and children in the safe home environment when it is moving to telephone applications.
