Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Pre-School Teachers and Caretakers/Helpers will be engaged in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) / Balvatika classrooms in government schools across Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme Samagra Shiksha. Pre-School Teachers conduct foundational learning, activity modules, storytelling, and creative motor-skill development for children aged 3 to 6 years. Caretakers/Helpers (female) provide essential caregiving, child safety oversight, assistance during mid-day meals, and sanitation support to maintain a secure and nurturing pre-school environment.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The engagement is purely on a Short Term Contract (STC) basis under the Samagra Shiksha scheme for the academic session. Posting is at designated government schools in Dadra & Nagar Haveli (Silvassa) or Daman. The appointment is temporary and co-terminus with project requirements, carrying no entitlement or right for regular appointment, permanency, or absorption under the U.T. Administration.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

As a short-term contract scheme engagement, there is no formal departmental promotion ladder or cadre progression. However, formal classroom teaching and caretaking experience under Samagra Shiksha provides recognized government educational experience, granting practical weightage during future regular Primary Teacher (PRT) and Anganwadi recruitment drives conducted in the Union Territory.
