What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?
Most reputable schools in Chamba run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties. On-campus, ICC (Internal Complaints Committee) compliance is standard. Confirm the route map and the last drop time during the interview.

Are meals provided at school?
