Eight years stay allowed for Chandigarh school principals

The Chandigarh Administration has finalized the transfer policy of School Principals, Headmasters, Headmistresses, Lecturers, Masters, Mistresses, JBT Teachers, Nursery teachers etc. for the academic session 2007-08.
The Education Department would shortly invite the applications for transfers from the eligible teachers as per the policy. As per the policy the school Principals, Headmasters, and Headmistresses shall be transferred after the completion of eight years’ stay.
The lecturers, masters, C & V teachers, JBT teachers and other category teachers can be transferred after putting in ten years of service in a school. However, teachers who have put in more than three years of service in the present school can be shifted on request basis for which their results will be taken into consideration.
While transferring heads of the schools or teachers on administrative grounds, genuineness of the request will be considered or where the results of the teachers are extremely poor, the period of stay will not be applicable. For transferring school teachers on request basis from village, they should have completed the stay of two years and the teachers who have not served in schools of rural areas will be transferred there. A teacher can give as many options as he wants in the order of priority for transfer purpose.
However, no mid-term transfer will be made except on administrative grounds. Those teachers who are retiring within one year or less will not be disturbed. In case there are surplus posts in a school, the senior most teachers in the respective cadre will be transferred without taking into consideration the period of stay.
As per the policy, mutual transfers would be allowed generously and on extreme compassionate grounds, the stay would not be applicable. Every fresh appointee, either by direct recruitment or by transfer on deputation will initially be posted in rural area schools and would have to put in at least two years of service in rural area schools before being posted in urban areas schools.
