KCR TO CHART JOBS ROAD MAP

Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is likely to make a statement in the House during a short discussion on ‘filling up vacant posts in government.’

The state government will present a roadmap on filling up of thousands of vacancies in various government departments, in the ongoing Legislative Assembly session.

Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is likely to make a statement on this issue in the House on Monday, as a short discussion on ‘filling up of government vacant posts and unemployment issue' has been placed on the agenda of the House for Monday.

On Saturday, the finance department submitted a list of vacancies that were approved for recruitment, department-wise, to the Chief Minister’s Office.

The TS Public Service Commission has also made a list of how many vacancies were filled in these three years, how many recruitment notifications were released, and how many notifications are in different stages of recruitment.

With Opposition parties accusing the state government of failing to fulfil its promise of giving one lakh jobs soon after coming to power in 2014, the government is trying to counter the charge with facts and figures on its recruitment drive and issue a roadmap on how vacancies will be filled in the coming months.

Telangana Joint Action Committee chairman Prof Kodandaram too has planned a Koluvula Kotlaata (fight for jobs) with unemployed youth in the city with the permission of the High Court after the state government denied him permission to conduct the meeting last month.

The Chief Minister’s strategy is to use the debate in the House to send a message to the youth that the government is on the right track to fill around 1.12 lakh vacancies as promised, and they should not get carried away by what the Opposition and TJAC are saying.

The finance department has submitted a list of nearly 1.12 lakh vacancies that were approved during the past three years and issued instructions to the TS Public Service Commission, and police and electricity departments to issue notifications.

A short debate on `8,000 per acre investment support to farmers, formation of farmers coordination councils has also been listed for Monday. If that debate runs long, the recruitment issue will be taken up on Tuesday.
