School teachers posted in remote areas of Haryana will get incentives and those staying far away from their home will be provided accommodation under a new transfer policy, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said today.
"To improve the quality of education in rural areas a Teachers' Training Programme has been launched and the process of teachers' recruitment to regular posts is underway," he said.
Khattar was speaking at a panel discussion on 'Innovation - the need of the hour in schools' after inaugurating Vega Global School in Gurgaon.
"To fulfil the vision of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Haryana Government is working to provide quality education to the students," he said

He also announced various projects for Gurgaon district including a new bus-stand, workshop on 83 acres land and a Justice Tower to be built over 7.5 acres at a cost of Rs 75 crore.
Addressing a public meeting, Khattar said, "Public Works (Building and Roads) Minister, Rao Narbir Singh, demanded setting up of Gurgaon Development Authority. Since the matter is in court, the government would bring in a new Bill to remove this hindrance."
He announced a number of projects including a university in Kakrola village, girls' college in Manesar and a hospital in Badshahpur.
The Chief Minister said Rs 45 crore would be spent on different development works in all Assembly constituencies falling under Gurgaon district.
