The minister also informed that it is mandatory for the teachers to serve for at least 10 years in the school where he is posted first. “After serving the mandatory period in the first place of posting, the teachers can apply online for transfer to one’s home district,” he added.
Besides, he informed that the teachers, whoever violates the rule, would be punished with labour imprisonment for three years. “Those, whoever recommends such transfer, will also be punished,” he added.
Talking about the TET teachers, who had got transfer earlier, Sarma said the transfer orders will be reverted. “They will have to join their previous place of posting,” he added.
