Chief Minister Sri Revanth Reddy's government is moving fast with grit and determination to make Telangana state to compete with the world and write a new chapter in the welfare and development sector", she said.
The top priority of the people's government is to realise the people's aspirations and their welfare, the Governor said and added that the government's responsibility is to deliver welfare benefits to every eligible beneficiary.

RECRUITMENTS
The Governor said that the vacant posts in State government departments would be taken up shortly. "The previous government has completely neglected employment and livelihoods for youth for the last 10 years. The erstwhile state government was indifferent towards the youth, who played a key role during the Telangana movement. The people's government, led by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, is paying special attention to providing jobs to the youth. The process of reforming the TSPSC (Telangana State Public Service Commission) is in progress. Job recruitment will be taken up by the government soon after the completion of the process. My appeal to the youth is not to raise doubts or suspicions about the government's sincerity in providing jobs," Tamilisai Soundararajan said.
TRUE SPIRIT OF CONSTITUTION
"After the formation of Telangana State, the present government is performing in the true spirit of the Constitution for the first time. I am proudly saying that people's freedom and their fundamental rights are highly regarded in the Telangana administration. With the inspiration of Dr BR Ambedkar, the people's government is heading forward, aiming for the welfare of the poor, BC, SC, ST, and Minority communities," the Governor said.
