Himachal Govt brings forth transfer policy for teachers

Shimla: To ensure availability of teachers in schools, the government has brought out and transfer policy for teachers which provides for a posting tenure of 3 academic years, with the first posting preferably being in tribal and hard areas of the state.

Giving details about the new policy, a government spokesman said the normal stay in case of first appointments in tribal, difficult, hard and rural areas would be five years.

The policy envisages that employees who have managed to remain posted in urban areas, are posted to rural, remote, tribal or difficult areas during the transfer season.
