Imphal, October 28 2014:
The State Cabinet today approved the "Tenure, Transfer and Posting Policy of Teaching Faculty and Other Officers under the Higher & Technical Education Department, Government of Manipur" .
Talking to media persons after the Cabinet meeting convened at the Chief Minister's Secretariat today afternoon, Spokesperson of the State Government Minister Moirangthem Okendro said that the new transfer policy would allow the college teachers to remain at their respective colleges until retirement instead of the inter-college transfer.
He further elaborated that those assistant professors directly recruited or regularized after the issuance of the notification of the new transfer policy would be posted only at their respective colleges for which appointments have been given.
However, there would be no issue if they are deputed to the Directorate or any other institution for a specific tenure.
As for those assistant professors and associate professors recruited prior to the issuance of the notification of the new transfer policy, they would be asked to give options for their preferred colleges.
A special committee would look into the matter and allocate their preferred colleges according to their seniority and vacancy of posts.
Thereafter, the teachers would not be transferred to any other college, Okendro said.
He further mentioned that some teachers with exceptional administrative skills may be deputed as Additional Director, Joint Director or OSD in the Directorate for a tenure of three years, which can be extended further for another two years as per the wishes of the deputed officers.
The new transfer policy would also embrace the teachers of polytechnics and engineering colleges under the State Government, Okendro added.
