Staff Reporter
Under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the Cabinet meeting held in Mantralaya on Tuesday approved the departmental new transfer policy in view of the needs arising out of the special circumstances of the School Education Department. The new transfer policy will be effective from the session 2023-24. The transfer process for all cadres will be completed between March 31 and May 15. It will be mandatory to apply online through the portal. Voluntary transfers will also be online only. Relieving and joining action will be done online. Once voluntary transfer is done, transfer cannot be done for three years except in special circumstances. It will be ensured that no school is without teachers.
In the new transfer policy, priority will be given to administrative transfer and then voluntary transfer. The newly-appointed teachers will have to work in rural area schools for at least 3 years and for a minimum of 10 years of their entire service period. Teachers posted in an institution, especially in urban areas, for a period of ten years or more, will be posted in schools with no teachers or shortage of teachers in rural areas. Teachers who have 3 years to retire or are suffering from serious illness or disability will be exempted from this process. The order of priority has been fixed in the transfer. Teachers will not be posted in private postings of elected public representatives. There will be no voluntary transfer to Excellence Schools, Model Schools and CM Rise Schools. Voluntary transfer applications for the posts of Principal/Assistant Director or posts senior to them will be accepted online. They can also be resolved offline. The transfer of first class officers will be done in co-ordination with the approval of the Chief Minister.
Special allowance approved for the staff posted in Naxal areas: The Cabinet sanctioned monthly anti-Naxal special allowance to the police personnel of the Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) posted in the Naxal areas of the state and according to the period of working in the Naxal area in the Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) which has been approved from the date of issuance of allowance. Special anti-Naxal monthly allowance of Rs 19,000 to constable, 25,000 to head constable and assistant sub-inspector, Rs 34,000 to sub-inspector and Rs 38,000 to inspector will be given. An annual financial burden of Rs 1,04,88,000 is possible on allowance approval. Out of the sanctioned 58 posts of various cadres for SIB in Naxal-affected areas, 33 government servants posted at present get Rs 91,80,000 per annum as ‘Anti-Naxal Special Allowance’ and 13.8 lakh per annum as ‘Intelligence Special Allowance’, in this way a total amount of Rs 104.88 lakh will be payable. This will boost the morale of the Government servants of SIB posted in Naxal-affected areas and better anti-Naxal operations will be conducted by accurate assessment of the activities of Naxalites.
In the anti-Naxal operation, the Council of Ministers has also approved anti-Naxal special allowance and ‘Hawk Force Allowance’ according to the period of service in Hawk Force, in addition to giving monthly pre-approved ‘Naxalite Operation Risk Allowance’ to Hawk Force police personnel. Hawk Force allowance will be payable to the Hawk Force police personnel according to the period of deputation. According to this, one thousand rupees per month to the policemen who complete the tenure of 12 to 24 months, Rs 2,000 per month to those who complete the tenure of 24 to 36 months, Rs 3,000 per month to those who complete the tenure of 36 to 48 months. Rs 4,000 per month will be given to the police personnel who complete their tenure of 48 to 60 months. There will be an additional expenditure of over 18.77 crore on anti-Naxal special allowance and Rs 5,35,89,000 on Hawk Force allowance, thus totalling Rs 23,73,69,000. With this, 1,045 police personnel currently working in Hawk Force will get allowances of about Rs 33.15 crore per annum instead of Rs 9.78 crore per annum. This will boost the morale of the duty policemen in Naxal areas and anti-Naxal operations will be implemented better.
