Time to Deliver Promises

After completing one year in office, the TRS government is racing against time to deliver on its promises, especially the announcement of job notifications for various departments.

The state government has given its nod for the release of notification for about 31 different departments, which would be possibly issued by the Telangana Public Service Commission, Police Recruitment Board, Department Selection Board, District Selection Committee and other nodal agencies.

According to sources, the state government may release notifications to over 17,500 jobs in various departments, the largest being the state police department. The police department jobs include recruitment of SI posts, constables, A R constables and others thus taking the count to 10,000 or more jobs. Recruitment for these jobs would be taken up by the TSPSC and police recruitment board.

It is learnt that the chief minister has instructed officials concerned to ready the notifications to fill about 25,000 jobs in various departments.

TSPSC can only carry out the recruitment of SI posts and recruitment of constables would be carried out by the police recruitment board. The Chief Minister’s Office has given instructions to the police department to consolidate the exact number of vacancies in the department.

On the other hand, other departments like school education, energy, agriculture and health have also been given instructions to identify vacancies. Recruitments in the other departments would be carried out by the respective recruiting agencies and the Public Service Commission. About 17 kinds of recruitments do not come under the purview of Public Service Commission.

About 3,000 posts would be filled through the Public Service Commission among which engineering posts make about 1,300 posts. Engineers are needed for departments like irrigation, groundwater department, public health, Panchayat Raj, roads and buildings and others.

Sources in the Public Service Commission have said that the state government has already issued instructions and the board is ready to hold about 127 different examinations.

Similarly in the education sector, the state government is contemplating to issue a DSC notification to fill posts of about 410 school assistants, 661 senior grade teachers, 103 language pandits, and 59 physical instructors among others.
