Regularisation of VRAs ends remnant of feudal era - Telangana CM KCR
The village Revenue Assistant (VRA) system, according to chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, is a holdover from the feudal past, and with the VRA's services now being regularised, the practice of their working on contract for meager pay is coming to a stop. The State government issued a government Order (GO) on monday integrating the VRAs in various departments with normal pay rates, keeping with the Chief Minister's commitment from the previous day.
At the Dr. BR Ambedkar telangana State secretariat on monday, the chief minister officially delivered a copy of the GO to leaders of the VRA Joint Action Committee (JAC) in recognition of the long-standing work of VRAs. Depending on their educational backgrounds, 16,758 VRAs' services were incorporated into various departments as final grade services, record assistants, junior assistants, or analogous roles.
Speaking at the event, Chandrashekhar Rao stated that 3,680 people with a degree or higher education will be designated as junior assistants, 2,761 people with an intermediate education qualification will work as record assistants, and 10,317 people with a 10th class qualification will be employed in the irrigation and Mission Bhagiratha departments. These roles have already received clearance from the finance division.
According to the GO, the salary ranges for final grade services are 19,000–58,850; for record assistants, it is 22,240–67,300; and for junior assistants, it is 24,280–72,850. In a show of kindness, 3,797 people over 61 will be given jobs by their offspring in recognition of their selfless commitment to society.
The chief minister challenged VRAs to establish a solid reputation in their respective ministries and work harder to continue their education and advance in their careers. According to him, the VRAs would receive appointment orders more quickly the earlier the JACs provided the list of VRAs. He claimed that the formal directives were given on monday, the Minister's birthday, in recognition of the Minister's proactive efforts to speed up the process for regularising VRAs.
