VIJAYAWADA: Chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday released the job calendar for 2021-22 to fill up 10,143 vacant posts.
Jagan said that the job calendar was first-of-its-kind in the state, where the unemployed would know the exact month of the release of notification for jobs and the number of posts that are vacant.
He said that the entire process will be done in a transparent way without corruption or discrimination or involvement of middlemen.
The recruitment will be based on marks obtained in the written test conducted by the government without any interview process, he said.
Jagan pointed out that the government had released the job calendar to boost confidence among youth.
Recalling his two-year governance, Jagan Mohan Reddy said that almost over one lakh jobs were created within four months of forming the government.
‘Over 6 lakh posts filled in two years’
The state had filled a total 6,03,756 jobs in the last two years, which includes 1.22 lakh permanent jobs in the village and ward secretariats.
He said that the volunteer system was brought in to increase the sense of service among the unemployed youth, and thus recruited 2.50 lakh youngsters as volunteers. Of the total 6.03 lakh jobs created, 1,84,264 were created on a regular basis, 3,99,791 are outsourced and 19,701 are on contract basis. The government had hiked the salaries for 7,02,656 jobs who were paid with a meagre amount in the previous government.
Jagan said that the government would ensure transparency in recruitment and payment, giving no room for middlemen or corruption. In spite of having a Rs 3500 crore burden, APSRTC has been merged with the state government, where the lives of 51,387 RTC employees have been secured. He said that the job market will be expanded with decentralisation and more jobs will be created at village level.
