| 2019   | 8420                                                                                    | 1238                        | 608                         |

Tentatively,  5206vacancies of  teaching  staff  are  to  be  filled  up  during  the  year 2020through direct recruitment out of which 779 and 387 vacancies are earmarked for SCs and STs respectively.

(c) The  category-wise break-up of the vacancies of teaching posts including Principals, PGTs, TGTs and Lab Assistants are annexed.

(d) to (f) Filling up of vacancies is a continuous process and action is taken from time to time as per the provisions of the relevant recruitment rules.  As the process of filling up of  vacancies  involves  various  methods  of  recruitment  such  as  promotion,  Limited Departmental  Examination,  Direct  Recruitment  etc.  and  takes  time,  no  specific  time frame for filling up of vacant posts can be given at this stage.

Teachers are also engaged on contractual basis for temporary duration by KVS to ensure that the teaching-learning process is not hampered. Directions have also been issued to autonomous organizations including KVS from time to time, for reviewing their vacancies and for taking prompt action for filling up of vacant posts in the Vidyalayas.
