DEO Vacancies Telangana: Harish Rao Targets Government Over 30 Empty Posts

Khazavali — Sat, 30 May 2026 11:42:58 +0000

Former minister Harish Rao raised concerns over the DEO Vacancies Telangana issue and criticized the state government for failing to fill key education department posts. He said only three regular District Education Officers (DEOs) are working across 33 districts.

Speaking at an event in Siddipet, Harish Rao said the government has left 30 DEO posts vacant. He claimed that additional collectors, joint collectors, ZP CEOs, and IAS officers are handling DEO responsibilities. According to him, this prevents officials from giving full attention to education.

Harish Rao said the DEO Vacancies Telangana problem is affecting the education system across the state. He demanded the immediate appointment of regular DEOs in all districts.

He also alleged that the government stopped the “Mana Ooru Mana Badi” programme midway due to political reasons. He said school development work has slowed down and no major new classroom construction is taking place.

The former minister further claimed that sanitation and maintenance bills remain pending for several months. He said teachers and headmasters are facing financial pressure because of delayed payments and retirement benefits.

Telangana Jagruthi president Kavitha has urged the state government to increase compensation for cyclone-affected farmers. She stated that the announced ₹10,000 per acre is inadequate and demanded ₹50,000 per acre as relief. Heavy rains have destroyed the hard-earned crops of farmers across several districts, she said.

Kavitha shared a video from Husnabad in Siddipet district, showing a woman farmer named Tharavva pleading with officials over her crop loss. She expressed deep concern over the condition of farmers who lost their seasonal yield to severe rains and floods.

According to Kavitha, nearly 4.5 lakh acres of farmland have been damaged across Telangana due to the recent cyclone. She emphasized the urgent need for government support to help farmers recover from the devastating losses.

Kavitha appealed to the state to provide free seeds and fertilizers for the upcoming Yasangi season, in addition to expediting the release of the Rythu Bharosa assistance. She reiterated that the government must act immediately to restore confidence among distressed farmers.
