The staff of Block Education Office (BEO) and District Education Office (DEO) would no more be allowed to serve in the same office for more than six years and would be transferred to another location, informed School and Mass Education Minister Samir Ranjan Dash on Tuesday.
A decision to this effect has been taken after Senior Clerk Pramod Rath engaged at a BEO office in Balangir was found misappropriating lakhs of rupees by furnishing fake documents.
The new rule would be implemented from the commencement of the next academic year; and officials concerned have been directed to ensure its implementation, Dash said.
The Minister further informed that discussions are on to implement the rule for schoolteachers as well.
