CM KCR to shower sops on youth
After showering sops on all communities, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is now set to announce a job bonanza for unemployed youth and windfall benefits for government employees under the new Pay Revision Commission PRC The recruitment agencies, Telangana State Public Service Commission TSPSC
​Hyderabad: After showering sops on all communities, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is now set to announce a job bonanza for unemployed youth and windfall benefits for government employees under the new Pay Revision Commission (PRC). The recruitment agencies, Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) and Police Recruitment Board, have been instructed to gear up to fill nearly 40,000 vacancies in different government departments under new zonal system which is likely to be approved by the President.
The PRC had been asked to finalise its recommendations regarding the hike of salaries for government employees at the earliest. Amidst rumours that the state will go for early elections, the government recently approved nearly 10,000 Panchayat Secretaries in Panchayat Raj Department and another 10,000 posts in Medical and Health, Education, Police, Revenue, Municipal Administration etc.
The Panchayat Raj Department had been entrusted to fill the secretaries' posts directly in 30 districts, excluding Hyderabad. The recently sanctioned posts in the Medical and Health Department, mainly doctors in the government run hospitals and teaching staff in the newly-established medical colleges, will be taken up jointly by the TSPSC and the department.
Officials said that another 10,000 jobs will be filled through regularisation of the contract employees working in government colleges, Panchayat Raj, Health and Municipal Administration departments. The Finance Department (Human Resource wing) is already scrutinising education certificates and services rendered by the contract workers. Notification to fill a huge number of vacancies in the Police and its allied wings is also under consideration.
The government is likely to announce 8,000 to 10,000 posts in the Home Department soon. “Soon after the Centre gives its nod to the new zonal system, under which the state government created seven zones and two multi-zones, the recruitment agencies will take up a drive to fill vacancies on war-footing,” a senior official said.
The three-member PRC headed by C R Biswal had been requested to submit its report on the revision of pay scales of the government employees. If early elections take place in December, then Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao will announce Interim Relief (IR) and also ratify the PRC recommendations in September itself. The state Finance department and PRC are already holding series of meetings to finalise the revision of the pay scales.
“Since it is election year, K Chandrashekar Rao is trying to lure all the employees with good package and also additional incentives like home loans at low interest rate, travel allowances and more health care benefits,” official said. Depending on the political developments, the Chief Minister will take decision on pay revision, the official added. If the elections are held as per schedule in April 2019, then the government will take more time in announcing the PRC.
