Only 42 got state jobs last year: RTI - Deccan Chronicle | DailyHunt

Dailyhunt | Jan. 21, 2020, 5:30 a.m.

HYDERABAD: The Telangana State Public Services Commission (TSPSC) has so far issued notifications for filling up of 36,643 vacancies in the government since July 2015. However, only 29,015 jobs have so far been allotted. The number of vacancies due to court cases or issues related to weightage of marks is 5,916. Many employee organisations, apart from political leaders, however, maintain that the number of jobs filled so far is far too small. The Telangana Unemployed Joint Action Committee (JAC) says vacancies in government jobs are actually as high as 2.20 lakh. An RTI filed by activist Kareem Ansari, who runs website YouRTI.com, sought information on the number of jobs filled since 2014, along with a year-wise breakdown. The reply revealed that a majority of notifications were issued in 2017 and 26,443 vacancies filled....
