MCRHRD MoU and recruitment reforms highlighted

The Chief Minister stated that civil servants function as the eyes and ears of the government. Hence, they must ensure efficient delivery of welfare schemes to beneficiaries. He also advised them to remember former civil servant S.R. Sankaran as a role model before assuming charge.

Criticising the previous BRS government, he said it failed to conduct Group 1 recruitment during its ten-year tenure. However, the present government conducted the examinations and fulfilled long-pending aspirations of aspirants.

He added that the government reformed the Telangana Public Service Commission by appointing reputed individuals as Chairman and members. Although the opposition challenged the results in court, the government defended the process and filled the posts. According to him, the Commission conducted the exams without paper leaks.

Out of six lakh candidates, 582 secured Group 1 positions, while 1,775 obtained Group 2 posts. Furthermore, he highlighted Telangana’s history of resistance, recalling leaders such as Komaram Bheem, Ranji Gondu, Sammakka and Saralamma.

Finally, the Chief Minister announced that the government will introduce a law to deduct 10 to 15 per cent of salaries of employees who neglect their parents.
