DSC recruitment

The State Government announced long ago that it would issue appointment orders to candidates who qualified in the District Selection Committee (DSC) recruitment conducted in 1989, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2003. The Government also said that a crash course would be conducted for these candidates before absorbing them into regular service.

It is quite disappointing that the Government has failed to live up to its promise.

As a result, all the qualified teachers remain unemployed.

Some candidates of 1998 batch have been employed as ‘vidya volunteers’ for a meagre pay of Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 1,500.

But, they did not get a chance during the current academic year, as the vacancies were filled with regular staff transferred from other schools.

It is high time the Government understood the economic conditions of qualified teachers and helped them by appointing them against the existing vacancies.

No buildings for sub-PHCs

The sub-primary health centres (sub-PHCs) attached to the six PHCs in Udayagari constituency in Nellore district have no pucca buildings, despite the Government’s promise to provide such buildings. As a result, the staff members are not attending their duties regularly and people are suffering the most. Even if anyone asks the staff about their absence, they simply shift the blame on to non-availability of building and infrastructure. The sub-PHCs would be useful to public only if the Government takes steps to construct pucca buildings and improve infrastructure there.

TTEs should help passengers

The duty of travelling ticket examiners (TTEs) in trains is to assist the commuters during their journey and prevent the entry of outsiders into the coaches by keeping a vigil on the entire coach. Though the TTEs performed their duties well till recently, they seem to have forgotten their job chart now. Some TTEs are even reluctant to wake up the passengers who urge them to do so in the early hours so as to get down at their destination. I request the railway authorities to take necessary steps to make TTEs stick to their job chart.

Check obscenity in films

Every film song these days has skimpily clad women in obscene postures, though the song itself will have nothing to do with the situation portrayed in the film. One can no longer dare to watch films filled with obscenity and vulgarity with family members. Films, which have more bearing on the public, are ruining the decency and traditional values of our society. The crazy youth with distracted minds are diverting their attention towards this emotional excitement sparing their precious study hours and are damaging their careers. The sole objective of moviemakers to make money even at the cost of reverence and respect for women should be defeated.
