AP: We are committed to providing jobs to local tribals in Agency areas: CM

Vijayawada, May 12 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Mr Chandrababu Naidu, on Monday declared that the State Government is committed to creating 100 per cent reservation for local tribals in Agency areas in government jobs.
Discussing with the officials, during a review meeting on Tribal Welfare, on the steps to be taken to restore the GO No 3 which was cancelled during the judicial review, the Chief Minister recalled that the GO was issued in the combined Andhra Pradesh in the year 2000 to provide 100 per cent reservation for the local tribals in government jobs. In 2020, the Chief Minister directed the officials to study the possibilities to restore the GO by following the guidelines and norms set by the Supreme Court.
Pointing out that through the GO issued in 1986 the Girijans were provided 100 per cent quota in Agency areas in teacher posts, Mr Chandrababu Naidu said that following some legal tangles, GO No 3 was issued in the year 2000 taking women reservation too into consideration. After its implementation Girijans got 4,626 teacher posts in Agency areas, he added.
