KOLKATA: Education minister Bratya Basu on Saturday launched a portal to facilitate the transfer of teachers to schools closer to homes. Last week, CM Mamata Banerjee announced the launch of ‘Utsoshree’, where teachers could apply online for new posting, mentioning places of choice.
Basu said teachers of state-aided schools could track updates on the portal. “From transfer applications to transfer orders, the process will be made online. It will be a transparent and time-bound,” he said, adding this would do away with unnecessary delay. Applicants have to be a permanent employee, having worked in a school for 5 years. tnn
