Hapless VRAs, VROs wait for GPO appointment orders
Khammam Around 3,550 Village Revenue Officers (VROs) and Village Revenue Assistants (VRAs) who passed the eligibility and screening exam for the Grama Palana Officer (GPO) positions throughout the State are currently waiting for postings, putting them in a catch-22 scenario. Notably, the former BRS administration reorganised the VRA and VRO systems and reassigned competent individuals to various positions in other agencies. After the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 2020 was replaced by the Bhu Bharati (Record of Rights in Land) Act 2024, the Congress government made the decision to designate up to 10, 954 GPOs, one for each revenue village. In addition to VRAs who were regularized and integrated into regular positions in the cadre of junior assistants/record assistants based on their credentials, the district collectors were urged to solicit options from competent VROs who were assigned to other departments to serve as GPOs. On April 1, a notification was sent out after the interested VROs and VRAs submitted their options. On May 25, the test was administered; on May 30, the results were made public, and on June 2, the appointment orders were scheduled to be issued. Out of the 5, 060 applicants, 3,550 individuals passed the test. Even after a month had gone by, appointment orders had not yet been issued, despite the fact that the test and results announcement processes had been finished quickly. As a result, the competent applicants were forced to wait for the postings in the offices. A competent applicant told The Hans India that many of the VRAs were assigned to ordinary promotion posts in other districts as part of the randomization procedure. For example, a large number of people from the Sangareddy area were assigned to the former Khammam. They were excited to visit their home districts, for which they had submitted options, after passing the GPO exam. However, he stated that they were troubled by the delay in issuing the appointment orders. A few days ago, the VRA JAC leaders met with CCLA Lokesh Kumar DS in an attempt to issue appointment orders to the eligible applicants. But as of yet, the administration has not responded. He clarified that because the new academic year had already begun, the government ought to announce openings right away so that the applicants may move and apply for their kids' admission to schools.

8.5L applications received during Revenue Sadassulu: Telangana Minister Ponguleti
HYDERABAD: Revenue and Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy on Saturday revealed that around 8.5 lakh applications related to land-related issues were received during the recent Revenue Sadassulu conducted by the state government. 'The recently held Revenue conferences revealed how landowners were troubled by the previous Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 2020,' he said. Srinivasa Reddy held a review meeting at the Secretariat on the just-concluded Revenue Sadassulu (conferences). During the meeting, he instructed the Revenue authorities and officials of various districts to respond promptly to the applications received from the people. After the meeting, he issued a press statement, stating that the state government was revamping the land administration system, which according to him had been completely destroyed during the BRS regime. He also said that the government was strictly implementing the Telangana Bhu Bharati (Record of Rights in Land) Act, 2024, while claiming that the change is already being felt in the state. 'The new RoR Act brought transparency to land governance, which was lacking in the Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 2020. The new Act is paving the way for addressing the long-pending land issues,' he added. He said that around 60% of the approximately 46,000 applications received in the second phase have already been addressed. He said that over eight lakh applications were received from 10,239 villages during the third phase of Revenue conferences. The government has already computerised around 3.27 lakh applications, he added.
