May 12, 2023

JBT-Shastri Cabinet discusses batchwise recruitment

Shimla: The Himachal government has banned the deputation of teachers in schools. Instructions have also been given to send 400 teachers appointed on deputation back to schools during the BJP government.

Education Minister Rohit Thakur said that Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has clear instructions that teachers should not be sent on deputation to schools.

The Congress government has geared up to bring back 400 teachers who have been on deputation to schools for the past several years.

About 400 of these teachers, instead of teaching students in schools, are serving in schools adjacent to district headquarters including the Directorate of Education, Deputy Director’s Office, DIET.

Many government schools in the state are facing acute shortage of teachers. Despite this, there are such teachers who, instead of teaching the students, are engaged in doing clerical work in the offices.

Due to living in the district headquarters including the capital Shimla, these teachers have arranged for deputation.

The governments in power have been talking about sending these teachers to schools, but nothing has been done in this regard on the ground.

Now the state government, which talks about system change instead of power change, has taken strict cognizance of the deputations.

Now these teachers will be sent to schools in remote and inaccessible areas facing a shortage of vacant posts.

This exercise is pending for the last two months due to the budget session of the Vidhansabha and Shimla Municipal Corporation elections.

Since the formation of the Congress government in the state, there have been slight reshuffles in the departments of high officials.

The Congress government has changed the Deputy Commissioners of Sirmaur, Bilaspur, Chamba, Lahaul-Spiti, Kinnaur, Hamirpur and Solan districts.

In Mandi, Kangra, Shimla, Kullu and Una districts, only the Deputy Commissioners appointed during the previous government are serving.

The Deputy Commissioners of these five districts are likely to be changed in the upcoming transfer list. Apart from this, there is talk of changing many department heads.

The government has so far transferred the sub-divisional officers on a large scale. There is also a possibility of reshuffle in the departments of IAS and HAS officers serving in the state secretariat.
