The Andhra Pradesh government took a significant step on Thursday by initiating the recruitment of 16,347 government teachers. This process began with the issuance of an official order (GO) and aims to be completed by the end of 2024.

Chief Secretary Neerabh Kumar Prasad has instructed the commissioner of school education to take all necessary measures to conduct the Mega DSC (District Selection Committee) – 2024. The goal is to fill the teacher posts by December 31, 2024.

In the issued GO, Prasad stated, “The government has decided to fill 16,347 teacher posts in School Education and other related departments through Mega DSC – 2024.”

The first file signed by new Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu after assuming office was to endorse this teacher recruitment drive, fulfilling a key election promise. Besides the teacher recruitment project, Naidu also approved other initiatives related to his campaign commitments, including enhancements to welfare pensions.

Welfare pensions for eligible beneficiaries have been increased to Rs 4,000 per month. Addressing a press conference at the secretariat, Minister N Ramanaidu announced that Rs 7,000 would be disbursed to each beneficiary on July 1. This amount includes Rs 1,000 for each month from April to June, along with the increased Rs 4,000 pension.

Furthermore, Ramanaidu highlighted that the government volunteer system will continue, with plans to review and enhance it. He also mentioned that the government will release department-wise white papers, providing transparency and detailed insights into various initiatives.
