A letter sent to the director of higher education, Amit Bhardwaj, reads that higher authorities have ordered to shift the office of the higher education directorate from Prayagraj to Lucknow. A well-thought-out proposal has to be submitted to the government immediately, the letter adds.

The shifting of the office was a long-pending exercise that was never implemented. The exercise assumes significance as the office of the higher education directorate handles the General Provident Fund and other post-retirement benefits for higher education teachers. However, the government has now issued an order saying the shifting will be done in the coming days.
