Employment

•  There  are  about  15  lakh  jobs  in  the  government  and  government-funded offices  and establishments. Based on the size of population at least 40% of these job, i.e. 6 lakhs, should have gone to the job seekers from Telangana.   But the total number of jobs now occupied by them is less than 3 lakhs.

• There are more than 5,000 employees in the state’s secretariat. Out of them not even 10% belong to the Telangana region.

• There are more than 130 posts of heads of departments. Out of them only 7 or 8 are held by the officers belonging to the Telangana region.

• There are 23 district collectors. One rarely finds an officer from the Telangana cadres holding that position.

• The state government issued orders - the much publicized G.O. 610 - as back as in the year 1985  to  remove  all  the  non-locals  appointed in  the  vacancies  meant  for  the  youth  of Telangana and to appoint only Telangana locals against all resultant vacancies.  Besides not implementing these orders further recruitment of non-locals in the Telangana region is going on.
