There is resentment among government degree college teaching faculty in Karnataka over transfers under the ‘serious ailments’ category.
They claim that while faculty members with serious ailments have failed to make the cut, many seniors, who have cited orthopaedic problems and conditions like diabetes and blood pressure, have made it to the eligibility list for the annual transfer of government degree college teaching faculty in Karnataka.
Compulsory transfer of degree college teaching staff is in progress in Karnataka. This year, the department is planning to transfer 15% of teaching staff, of which 1% will be those suffering serious ailments, as per norms. Given that the number of transfers under this category is limited, competition for the same is high.
