Glued to televison sets, youngsters broke into loud cheers as the Chief Minister made the announcement on one of the biggest recruitment announcements in the history of the Telugu States. Amid slogans of ‘Desh Ki Netha KCR’ and ‘Jai Telangana’, they thanked the Chief Minister for the announcement.

Celebrations began on campuses too with students congratulating each other as they were waiting for long for notifications on government jobs.

At Arts College on the Osmania University campus, students poured milk on the Chief Minister’s photo, burst firecrackers and exchanged sweets. The students also expressed their happiness over relaxation of the upper age limit by 10 years which enabled several unemployed to be eligible for the recruitment process.
