On Monday, during the opening session of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu addressed concerns regarding the Mega District Selection Committee (DSC) recruitment process for teachers. He emphasized that the selection was conducted with a focus on merit, transparency, and fairness, aiming to ensure accountability in the recruitment practices. Naidu’s remarks come as the government seeks to reassure the public about the integrity of the teacher selection process amidst ongoing scrutiny.
Lokesh also announced that the NDA government would conduct the DSC every year, calling it a firm commitment to unemployed youth. “We completed the Mega DSC, issued offer letters, trained the selected teachers and deployed them in schools. YSRCP has been alleging irregularities in the selection and demanding a probe as well as the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh.
Speaking in the Assembly, Naidu said there was no room for backdoor appointments or manipulation in the recruitment process. The Chief Minister said the credibility of the recruitment process was reflected in the response of candidates who did not make the final selection. Rejecting opposition YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s allegations, Education Minister Nara Lokesh said the government faced intense legal challenges after the DSC notification was issued but successfully completed the recruitment process. This is the achievement of the people’s government,” Lokesh said.
