Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced a comprehensive plan to tackle the state's unemployment problem, by bridging the gap between students and companies and creating job opportunities for youth.
Speaking after handing over cheques of Rs 1 lakh each to 135 civil service aspirants, who cleared UPSC preliminary exam this year, under the Rajiv Gandhi Civils Abhaya Hastham Scheme, Revanth Reddy said that the Congress government had filled 30,000 jobs in various departments within 90 days of coming to power and it will fill another 35,000 jobs very soon.
He said that the government was dedicated to issuing job notifications promptly, addressing concerns about delays that have previously frustrated job seekers during the BRS regime.
Revanth Reddy accused BRS leaders of exploiting the unemployment issue for political gain. He alleged that the BRS only remembered the unemployed when they were out of power and aimed to provoke students for their political advantage.
"Our government is working for the students who are studying hard," Revanth Reddy stated, adding that their focus is on serving Telangana society rather than their political interests.
The Chief Minister also announced the establishment of Young India Residential Schools in every Assembly constituency to provide quality education to underprivileged children and promised to appoint Vice Chancellors for all universities within the next 10-15 days, and fill all vacant posts to strengthen higher education.
Revanth Reddy reiterated his efforts to prepare the state's athletes for the 2028 Olympics, with training programmes through the soon-to-be-established Young India Sports University. Additionally, 2,000 individuals will receive training at Young India Skill University this academic year, with plans to scale up to 20,000 trainees annually from next year.
Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka stressed the importance of producing top civil servants from Telangana. He highlighted the government's focus on education and skill development, noting that Rs 5,000 crore would be invested in establishing integrated residential schools.
Bhatti lauded the diversity of those receiving financial support for civils exam, which included candidates from various social categories, emphasising the government's commitment to inclusive development.
