2. The RSU with support of districts is working on need based vacancy positions submitted by the districts since one year earlier in order to categorize their demand. The changes here, however, made in position of some districts to make the vacancies need based and group based as per policy document requirement. It is correct that in some districts there seems change in need based vacancies, but it takes place because of fitting positions as per criteria envisaged in policy document. 3. Under the Policy districts were allowed to add or remove positions in UCs while re- verification of need based data (High Priority-High enrollment Schools and Viable closed schools) and to share the amended positions if any with RSU.
