Most students are angry with the TRS government
HyderabadChief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is aiming to appease students with a special job quota for students who had put their lives and careers at risk by playing an active role in the Telangana agitations. 
 
Most students are angry with the TRS government ever since it took a decision to regularise contract employees and approved it in its very first Cabinet meeting. They are upset with the government for not issuing a single job notification through TSPSC so far.
 
In a bid to make peace with the students, the TRS government is exploring various options and giving 10 per cent quota to them in government jobs is believed to be on the top of its agenda.
 
Information technology minister K.T. Rama Rao gave indications to this effect on Tuesday, when OUJAC students met him at the Secretariat seeking a quota in jobs along the lines of the Uttarakhand government.
 
Mr Rama Rao told the students: “It is very much under consideration of the government. I can assure you that you will hear good news from CM KCR in this regard very soon. Please wait and see.”
 
Official sources said as per the statistics available with the government, as many as 8,047 students had ben booked by the police during the T-agitations. They said it would not be a problem if 10 per cent quota was set aside for them because the actual number would be less than 5,000, with the remaining either settling in other jobs or having crossed the upper-age limit to write the recruitment exams.
 
They say it would send positive signals to the student community that the TRS government was concerned about students who had sacrificed everything for the T-cause.
 
Sources added that it would be easy to trace the eligible students as records of police cases were available district-wise and could be verified easily to ensure that only genuine students received the benefit.
