Hyderabad, February 29, 2024: In a significant move towards bolstering the education sector, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, alongside officials from the Education Department, unveiled the Mega District Selection Committee (DSC) notification.

The notification, numbered 24/RC-1/TRT/DSC/2024 and dated February [date not mentioned], outlines the recruitment process for School Assistants, Secondary Grade Teachers, Language Pandits, Physical Education Teachers, and Special Education Teachers. These positions span both primary and upper primary/secondary levels and will be filled in government and local body schools across the state.
