In India, Gazette is published on regular bases, it is a official Central Government Publication(nicked name Gazette). It publishes the promotions of of certain government official.
If a person's name is published in the Gazette, he/she is called Gazetted, in most cases they are honorary Justice of peace and have same standing as some of the Magistrates. This is why their signatures on certain document are recognised.
Arm forces of India have two category, Senior commissioned officers and Junior Commissioned officer.
I believe at one time both were published in the Gazette.
Senior commissioned officers have/had same standing as civilian gazetted officers. They are in the Gazette also.
Only Government officials are in the Gazette.
Principals are not in the Gazette in most part. Exception are the school or colleges run by the Government of India. I do not know of any at this time.
Principals are included by admitting colleges, to ease the burden of proof, to the students.
