Currently, competitions for hiring for positions in the Union government, central public sector companies, Indian railways, defense services, nationalized banks, etc. They are held in only two languages: English and Hindi, according to the letter.
In the letter dated November 18, KCR wrote: “In order to provide equal opportunities to students from all states of India, it is requested that candidates be allowed to write all competitive exams in regional languages also for your recruitment into the Government of India and its department and companies through UPSC and all other agencies such as Railway Recruitment Boards, Public Sector Banks, RBI (Reserve Bank of India) and the Recruitment Commission “.
The letter also noted that students, who do not have a Middle English background or those students who do not have a Hindi-speaking background, have faced many disadvantages due to a lack of opportunities to write in regional languages. For the same reason, it was requested to facilitate the examinations in regional languages.
Meanwhile, KCR has also written to President Ram Nath Kovind, requesting that he release a commemorative stamp of former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao, preferably during his next stay in the south, where he will spend time in Hyderabad.
