Shimla, January 07: In a bid to ensure that teachers were available throughout the academic session in tribal and hard areas, the state government today announced for them a new transfer policy that retained the clause of normal stay for three years, except in case of unacceptable conduct.
However, the minimum stay in rural, tribal, difficult and hard areas on first posting would be five years.
According to the policy, the first posting should preferably be in tribal/hard areas of the concerned district.
It will be ensured that the employees who have already served in tribal/difficult area were not posted in these areas again.
There would be ban on transfers after April 30 and they will only be ordered with prior approval of the chief minister under special circumstances.
