Hyderabad: Allegations surfaced over TGSWREIS appointments after critics questioned frequent transfers and the recent posting of a non-IAS officer as secretary in the residential education society.
The controversy followed the government’s decision to appoint Joint Secretary K. Sharada as secretary (FAC) through G.O.Rt.No.107. Critics claimed the move broke precedent, as the post was traditionally held by senior IAS officers or Group-1 officials.
They also raised concerns over multiple changes in leadership within a short period. Since December 2023, several officials were shifted from the secretary’s post. Earlier, Alugu Varshini served for about a year, followed by Krishna Aditya. However, he was replaced before completing a full tenure, and Vijyender Boyi was also transferred before assuming charge.
As a result, critics described the frequent changes as a “musical chairs” pattern in administration. They argued that such instability could affect governance and decision-making within the institution.
TGSWREIS appointments linked to procurement concerns
Critics further linked TGSWREIS appointments to concerns over procurement practices. They referred to earlier allegations related to purchases and claimed that a centralised procurement system had shifted control to higher authorities.
According to them, the system reduced the autonomy of individual societies. They alleged that large-scale tenders for student supplies were being handled centrally, raising questions about transparency and oversight.
In addition, concerns were expressed about the selection of officials for key roles. Critics argued that experienced officers were necessary to examine files and ensure compliance with rules. Therefore, they questioned whether administrative decisions were being taken with adequate scrutiny.
They also urged vigilance authorities to monitor the situation closely. According to them, accountability was essential to ensure that public funds meant for student welfare were used properly.
However, there was no official response immediately available regarding the allegations. The government has not commented on claims related to appointments or procurement practices so far.
