Sources said the guiding principles of the transfer
policy would give every teacher a "fair chance of getting a
choice posting but in a transparent manner".
The policy will seek to balance employee aspirations and
organisational needs and carry out the exercise in a
reasonable time frame to reduce modification requests.
The transfer policy will be based on a clear cut point
system available in the internet and choices of the persons
being displaced will be considered.
There would be no blanket exemptions to anybody under the
revised policy and posting will to done in "hard stations"
both for women and men. The age for such postings will be 40
years.
However, the minimum three years' tenure at the place of
first posting will be uniformly applied, sources said.
Taking in account the recommendations of the academic
advisory committee of KV, the meeting also decided to include
in-service training course for teachers and introduce

8 pm. The Minister directed the KVs to prepare a detailed
policy in this regard, especially with regard to preference to
be given to school children for the courses and with regard to
the skills that may be permitted.
