LG had earlier approved the revival of 126 such posts in February this year and asked the Education Department to submit a proposal for the creation of additional posts


While approving the revival of above mentioned 126 posts, the LG had asked the Education Department to submit a proposal for the creation of additional 244 posts of Principals, after getting a comprehensive study conducted by the AR Department, in consultation with the Services Department.

The LG had also directed that suitable financial provisions be made and ensured for these 244 posts in the Level-12 of the Pay Matrix.

These posts will now be sent to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for being filled as per their prescribed recruitment rules.
