(a) to (d): The  recruitment  and  service  conditions  are  primarily  in  the  domain  of  State Governments/UT Administrations.

The Central Government has  been  consistently  pursuing  the  matter  of  expeditious  recruitment  and  redeployment  of teachers with the States and UTs at various fora. Advisories on this issue have also been issued to  States  and  UTs  from time to time. The detail of the vacant posts of teachers under SSA in Elementary schools is at Annexure.
