Hyderabad: Taking a major decision, the state government on Tuesday gave nod for the appointment of record number of employees in the state Energy department.
Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao cleared the proposal for appointment of 13,357 posts in TSGenco, Transco and Discoms. The posts to be filled are from junior lineman to executive director. Of these, there are 1,500 non-technical posts.
According to officials, this is the first time that the recruitment is being taken up in such a big way in the history of the department. The CM had instructed the officials concerned to fill the posts vacant since 2012 and also recruit people for the future needs at one go.
While this recruitment goes on, KCR ordered that promotions to about 10,000 persons should also be given forthwith. The Chief Minister said that this historic decision was taken based on a request made by senior officers led by Genco and Transco CMD D Prabhakar Rao, JMD Srinivasa Rao and others at a meeting.
The CM said that he had agreed for the large-scale appointments in the electricity department, since he wants to strengthen the State, which has changed from power crisis state to power surplus State.
He said Telangana State was making rapid strides in the power sector. As on date, 24 hours power supply is given to the industrial, domestic and commercial sectors and efforts are on to give 24 hours power supply to the agriculture sector from the next year, the Chief Minister said.
