The Andhra Pradesh government has recently taken the initial step towards recruiting 16,347 government teachers with a recent issued order (GO), intending to finish recruitment by the end of 2024.
Chief Secretary Neerabh Kumar Prasad directed the commissioner of school education to manage the Mega DSC (District Selection Committee) – 2024 and ensure all teacher positions are filled by December 31, 2024.
Upon taking office last Thursday, June 6, 2024, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu fulfilled a promise from his campaign by approving the recruitment of 16,347 government teachers as his first official act. Alongside this significant step, Naidu also greenlit several other projects in line with his electoral promises, including improvements to welfare pensions and other key initiatives.
Minister N Ramanaidu announced at a press conference in the secretariat that welfare pensions for eligible recipients have been raised to Rs 4,000 per month. Additionally, he disclosed that each beneficiary would receive Rs 7,000 as a welfare pension on July 1, 2024, which includes Rs 1,000 for each month from April to June, 2024, in addition to the increased Rs 4,000 pension amount.
Ramanaidu mentioned that the government intends to continue the volunteer system, subject to regular review and improvements. He also stated that the government will release white papers by department to offer comprehensive details and transparency about its operations.
