Increase the number of posts in DSC, youth and student organisations urge Andhra Pradesh government

Youth and student organisations in the State have demanded that the number of posts be increased in the DSC released by the government.

In a statement on January 31 (Wednesday), Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) State president Y. Ramu and secretary G. Ramanna welcomed the Cabinet approval to the proposal to release the DSC after a prolonged wait but they opposed the government’s decision to fill only 6,100 vacant posts, while almost 10 lakh jobless youth were waiting for the release of DSC notification for the last four years.

The federation leaders said they staged a series of protests, including laying siege to the house of the Education Minister Botsa Satyanarayana and camp office of the Chief Minister in support of their demand for release of mega DSC. Cases were foisted against many youth leaders, they said, reiterating their demand that the number of posts be increased, taking into account the number of teachers retiring from service by June this year.
