Immediate opening: Principal at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Tehri-garhwal, Uttarakhand. Open to both seasoned practitioners and early-career candidates with strong potential. About Kendriya Vidyalaya in Tehri-garhwal, Uttarakhand: a senior secondary institution, established 1987, — a CBSE-affiliated school. Known locally for steady academic delivery, a stable faculty base, and a balanced mix of academics, sports, and the arts. Role: as Principal, you work closely with the Principal on academic and operational decisions — leading a section/team, driving teacher development, overseeing assessments, and holding the line on standards. Day to day, you will:
- Run faculty meetings, academic reviews, and section-level planning.
- Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.
- Approve calendars, assessment papers, and major parent communication.
- Engage with leadership on hiring, budgets, and infrastructure needs.
- Spend time on the floor — corridors, classrooms, labs — to read the school accurately. Requirements:
- Master's degree with a relevant teaching qualification (B.Ed./M.Ed. preferred).
- Significant classroom experience plus years in coordination/leadership.
- Calm, confident judgement with students, parents, and staff.
- Clear writing for academic plans, reports, and parent communication.
- A track record of building and retaining strong teaching teams. Why join us:
- Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹12.1 LPA – ₹12.6 LPA).
- Reasonable workload with planned holidays per the calendar.
- Real ownership of your subject/function from day one.
- A leadership team that listens, supports, and gives credit.
- A campus that respects educators as professionals. Submit your application online from this page to be considered by Kendriya Vidyalaya. Interview slots are scheduled after profile review, typically inside five to seven working days.
