The IT, Industries & Commerce Minister K.T. Rama Rao penned a letter to youth urging them to focus on preparation to bag State government jobs that were notified recently.
Telangana is the only state that filled up 2.25 lakh government jobs in the last nine years and also created many private jobs as well.
KTR mentioned that the number of jobs filled by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government was much higher than the numbers assured in the party’s manifesto.
While one lakh jobs were assured in the manifesto,1.35 lakh government jobs were successfully filled in the first term of the TRS government under the leadership of chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
And in the party’s second term, the process of filling 90,000 government jobs was taken up on a priority basis. The Public Service Commission and other departments have already issued notifications for 32,000 jobs till now.
The notifications for jobs in Gurukul Educational Institutions would be issued soon.
The minister said chief minister KCR strived hard to fulfill the aspirations of people during the Statehood agitation, to give priority to locals in filing jobs. The Minister said that 95% of all government jobs are reserved for local candidates as per the Presidential Orders and that the age limit for the jobs was relaxed by the State government.
KTR said that the spirit of the Telangana movement has been realised with the new Zonal System introduced by KCR.
New methods were adopted by the TRS Government to expedite the process of recruitment. Besides the Public Service Commission, the process was decentralized by recruiting through the Police Recruitment Board, Gurukul Educational Institutions, and other boards, he said.
Reminding the youth of the allegations leveled against the recruitment process adopted by the Public Service Commission before Telangana was formed, the Minister said that after the formation of the State and TRS assumed power, every post is being filled in a transparent manner as per the orders given by CM Sri KCR.
Interviews for Group-I jobs were scrapped to avoid any form of discrimination. Now, in sharp contrast to the earlier times, there are no controversies over the recruitment process.
He informed the youth that besides government jobs, the TRS government extended complete support in providing a mammoth number of jobs in the private sector. Till now, over 17 lakh job opportunities have been created in the private sector.
The IT minister further said the State government created a robust startup ecosystem to encourage innovative ideas of youth. As part of this, T-Hub, T-Works, WE Hub, TSIC, were established.
The public representatives from TRS in their personal capacity conducted special coaching camps and provided other resources to youth preparing for government jobs. Various government departments are also providing coaching to unemployed youth.
The government libraries were equipped with competitive books and other facilities. Conveying best wishes to the youth preparing for government jobs, Minister KTR urged them to utilise the available resources
