KCR-led Cabinet modifies local status yardstick
The new zonal system in Telangana has been given an approval to the yardstick to determine “local status” in employment and education sectors.
The new zonal system in Telangana has been given an approval to the yardstick to determine “local status” in employment and education sectors.
The decision was taken by the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led cabinet on Sunday based on the recommendations of the Cabinet sub-committee headed by deputy chief minister Kadiyam Srihari.
To get the local status tag, a child must study for four years in the local area between Class I and Class VII. Previously, the local status was determined based on a four-year study between Class IV and Class X.
The Cabinet also approved 95% reservation for locals and 5% was left as an open category in the zonal system. The decision gains prominence as a lakh government jobs are to be filled up by KCR-government before 2019 polls.
In other decisions taken, Cabinet also approved staff including MD to State Rythu Samanvaya Samithi by way of redeployment, enhancement of retirement age from 58 years to 65 years for health department professors in teaching, proposal to create seven zones and two multi-zones along with the Rs 5 lakh insurance cover for farmers between 18 and 60 years.
