In a terse reminder to all the officials concerned, the education department has clearly stated that the application from teachers for voluntary transfers should be received in the offices of Block Education Officers (BEO) or Deputy Education Officers on or before May 30. In a letter directed to the Additional Director ( AD) Garhwal and Kumaon and District Education Officers ( DEOs) of all the districts, the additional director, V S Rawat, who is officiating as director, has directed that those officers who have not updated the list of teachers eligible for transfers and the number of vacant posts of teachers should do with without any further delay.
The department had setup a deadline of May 20 for submission and updating these lists. Rawat said that the application of Lecturer Teachers, junior and senior assistants should be complied at BEO offices from where they would be sent to district offices and offices of additional directors. Similarly the applications of the Headmasters, Principals, and Lecturers, clerks, administrative officers and senior administrative officers should reach the education directorate via offices of additional directors, district education officers after compilation at the offices of BEOs.
The officiating director has clearly stated that the teachers working on contract in the schools or Shiksha Mitras (SM) should not be included in the process of transfers. Similarly teachers who earlier were working on contract or were SMs and were later regularised should be considered for transfers on the basis of the date they were enrolled on permanent rolls in government.
