Chief Minister says approximately one lakh vacant posts will be filled up once the new commission is formedHyderabad: The State government on Monday announced that youth in Telangana would get five year relaxation in recruitment for the vacant posts to be filled up by State Public Service Commission.
Stating this in the Assembly, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said the government had taken this decision since the youth had lost time as the State was plunged into agitation for separate statehood.
He said there were approximately one lakh jobs to be filled up, but a final picture on the exact number of vacancies in the government departments and in the public sector corporations would emerge only after the Kamalanathan Committee and the Sheila Bhide Committee completed their respective tasks and the corporations were divided as per Schedule IX of the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014.
Meanwhile, the Finance Minister E Rajender said a committee headed by Chief Secretary had been constituted to formulate a scheme for the regularisation of contract employees, adding that to fill certain vacancies, Telangana State Public Service Commission would be constituted soon. Rrajender said orders had been issued on September 17 itself, according permission to make ad-hoc appointments to the local, district, zonal and multi-zonal cadre posts, which fell entirely in the State of Telangana and which did not come under the purview of process of allocation of employees between the successor States.
Earlier, BJP floor leader K Laxman said over 11 lakh unemployed youth were eagerly waiting for job notifications.
He took strong exception to the government's proposal to regularise the services of contract employees and suggested to give priority to unemployed in filling the vacancies.
TRS sees plot; passes the buck to TDP
Hyderabad: Taking the ‘blame game’ forward in full swing, the Telangana government has passed the buck to the previous Telugu Desam Party (TDP) for not filling up over a lakh vacant posts in all government departments in the State.
As per the new theory, ‘protracted delay in the division of government employees between the two States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana was a major stumbling block to the Telangana government to issue notification for the recruitment of over one lakh vacancies in all departments in the State’.
Making this statement under Rule 344 in the Assembly, Finance Minister E Rajendar saw a conspiracy in the delay in the finalisation of division of employees despite the Kamalanathan committee appointed by the Centre preparing a report.
The government will not take up the recruitment drive till the employees are divided. Holding the previous Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government responsible for the shutdown of many PSUs including Asia's biggest sugar factory - Nizam Sugar Factory - in Telangana resulting in decline in job opportunities, the Minister said the total number of vacancies identified so far was 1.07 lakh in the State.
The number of vacancies would change depending on the final allocation of employees to Telangana and AP. Total sanctioned posts for Telangana after the bifurcation of State was 5.23 lakh of which 4.15 lakh were already filled, he said.
