The recruitment will be made in socially and educationally backward areas and near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in border region of Ladakh.
The Cabinet which met here under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah extended the validity for filing up regular vacancies of teachers retrospectively with effect from August 4, 2012 till date.
Also the validity has been extended prospectively for the period of two years with effect from today.
Earlier on the basis of a cabinet decision, the state government in order to make up the deficiency of staff in elementary-level schools in far-flung and inaccessible areas, had ordered on August 4, 2010 to fill up the regular vacancies of teachers in far-flung areas on the pattern of ReT for two years.
“The validity of that order had expired on August 4, 2012,” an official spokesman said here after the meeting.
