THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SHRIM.A.A.FATMI)
(a) Yes, Sir. Transfers made under the guidelines with effect from April 1, 2000 in the Kendriya Vidyaiaya
Sangathan led to a widespread dislocation of teachers across the country. Many of them were transferred thousand
of kilometers away from their place of residence and families. Many couples were also separated across thousands
of kilometers. This caused widespread misery in the entire system.
Hundreds of teachers resigned from the sendee, some were dismissed for their inability to join the position in
remote places. The measure not only affected families but also deprived KVS of experienced teachers. A statement
containing number of such transfers and the number of employees who had rendered voluntary retirement/resignation
and terminated as a result of transfer is annexed.
The recent transfer guidelines df 7 July 2004 have tried to address this problem. This humane approach in the
current transfer policy has been widely appreciated and it is hoped that within a year or two, the KVS will
be able to redress the grievances of all the affected teachers to a substantial extent.
(b) to (e) Yes, Sir. A Committee has been constituted by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan comprising Joint Commissioner
(Administration), Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan as chairperson and two Senior Principals for considering the appeal
of such teachers who left the services of KVS. The committee will consider appeals filed upto 15.12.2004 and will
submit its recommendation to Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan by 15th January 2005 for decision.
