1,227 Lecturers Promoted in Chhattisgarh’s School Education Department; Over 7,000 Promotions So Far

Raipur, July 23

Acting on the directives of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, the Chhattisgarh government is taking swift, reform-oriented decisions to enhance the education sector and support the interests of the state’s teaching community.

Continuing this momentum, the School Education Department today (July 23, 2025) issued promotion orders for 1,227 lecturers (T cadre teachers) across various subjects. The postings of these promoted lecturers will be carried out through a counselling process. The subjects include Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Political Science, History, Geography, Economics, and Commerce.

This development reflects the government’s strong commitment to ensuring timely promotions and career advancement opportunities for teachers, based on their work, seniority, and qualifications.

It is noteworthy that over the past year, the School Education Department has completed promotion procedures for nearly 7,000 positions at the district and divisional levels. Additionally, 2,621 Assistant Teachers (Science Laboratory) were recruited directly through counselling, aiming to strengthen practical, lab-based education in schools.

Earlier, on April 30, 2025, promotion orders for approximately 2,900 principals were also issued. In the coming days, the posting of promoted principals from the T cadre will also be carried out through counselling, to ensure a transparent and need-based deployment system.

The matter of promotion for principals in the E cadre is currently pending before the Hon’ble Court. As per the court’s verdict, the required actions will be taken in a time-bound manner.
