HYDERABAD: The Student Federation of India (SFI) along with other student organisations has urged the Government to fill the vacant 379 Group I posts as scores of unemployed youth have put a lot of hopes in these jobs.

It charged the Government on Tuesday with deliberately "not revealing" the number of vacant posts and pointed out that the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal decision on putting the cut-off mark at 66 would adversely affect many aspirants.

The SFI also wanted a comprehensive probe into the functioning of the social welfare hostels, according to a press release.

ABVP stages dharna

Activists of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) staged a dharna in front of the APSCHE office demanding action against bogus minority B.Ed colleges. In a memorandum submitted to APSCHE Chairman K.C. Reddy, the activists alleged that colleges were encouraging malpractice in submission of bogus minority certificates as there were less minority candidates when compared to the seats in minority colleges.

Moreover, colleges were not even honouring Government orders with regard to admitting students in social sciences stream citing lack of candidates in sciences stream.

The organisation wanted to know as to why the Minority Welfare Department was enthusiastic in extending minority status despite the submission of School Education Department's report seeking cancellation of minority status to 64 B.Ed colleges.
