A total of 2,454 teachers applied for a transfer due to being specially abled, and 481 sought a transfer on the grounds of autism and mental special needs. Other teachers who applied for a transfer include 790 suffering from critical illnesses, 271 with incurable diseases such as different types of cancer and 416 who are widowed or divorced.
The state govt introduced a new transfer policy for schoolteachers, from the primary to higher secondary stage, under which willing teachers are supposed to apply online under five specified criteria.

The education department’s additional chief secretary, S Siddharth, said teachers need not worry about their transfer, as all the needy teachers would be transferred to their desired places soon.
