"Transfer policy stuck in files: Teachers are waiting with bated breath"

"Transfer Policy 2025: Results ready, but intentions incomplete! Teachers’ hopes locked in sealed lockers

- 

Teachers in Haryana are once again caught in confusion, rumours and incomplete information. Every morning in schools begins with tea and a discussion in the staffroom — “When will the transfers take place?” No one has an answer to this question, but everyone has a guess.

Some say in August, some say after the cabinet, some believe that now that the session is in the middle, the department will not do anything. Everything seems to be stagnant, blurred and hanging in the balance.

The results of the examination conducted for teacher deployment in Model Sanskriti Vidyalayas and schools selected under the Pradhan Mantri Shri Yojana are ready. But the announcement is not being made because the Common Transfer Policy 2025 has not yet received cabinet approval. Here the question becomes imperative that before conducting the examination, was it not ensured that the policy has been made or what will be the time limit for its approval? If the result of the examination depends on the policy, then why was it taken earlier? Is this an administrative lapse or political delay?

Another argument being given for not declaring the results is that they are kept in sealed envelopes which no one has seen, so that no interference is possible. This tradition of “sealed honesty” on one hand shows that the department is pretending to be transparent and on the other hand it also makes it clear that the department itself is afraid of some possible ‘game’ with the results.
