HYDERABAD: Ahead of the cabinet meeting on Tuesday, it is estimated that the state government has identified 45,280 posts for which recruitments will be initiated in a direct and phase-wise manner. As per the PRC commission’s report, state government has sanctioned 4,91,304 posts of which 3,00,178 posts are occupied and 1,91,126 posts are vacant. Another 1,08,528 posts are occupied by outsourced employees. The state government is not considering outsourced posts as being vacant.
The notification will first be given to posts where there is very high demand and will be done in a phased manner. The filling of posts will take place not only through the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) but also through institutes of various government departments. While TSPSC has not issued notifications, vacancies are being considered.
Currently there are posts across 18 categories such as commercial tax offices, residential welfare officials, panchayat raj officials, deputy collectors, and DSPs in police, among others. The state government had issued Group-2 notifications around seven years back for posts under 12 departments. It has now announced that posts which are currently vacant will be filled first followed by those posts which have fallen vacant due to promotions. Details for posts which have fallen vacant due to promotions are currently being prepared and reliable sources within the government said that it will not issue notifications for those posts at the same time as other posts. Among the current vacant posts, many are available in the education department and are mostly that of teachers while there are also Group-3 posts such as computer operators.
The finance department is also undertaking assessments of any legal complications in filling some of the vacant posts and posts available in multi-zones. CM K Chandrasekhar Rao had recently said that since the President had given permission for the zonal system, there should not be any problems. On Tuesday, the cabinet will give permission for filling up vacant posts after verifications of details as submitted by the various government departments.
