Agriculture and Engineering Diploma holders stage protest for opportunity in Amaravati
Demanding state government to consider the Agriculture Engineering Diploma, a three and half year diploma course, for applying for the newly proposed jobs in the Village Secretariat recruitment
Amaravati: Demanding state government to consider the Agriculture Engineering Diploma, a three and half year diploma course, for applying for the newly proposed jobs in the Village Secretariat recruitment, the diploma holders staged protest in front ot the Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's camp office at Tadepalli in Guntur on Tuesday. They explained that the state government introduced this course in 2013 and encouraged students to study it, but now there were no opportunities for these students.
There are about 1,000 students completed their course from then onwards. Diploma holder Gooda Naveen said that, they must be treated like that of agriculture polytechnic diploma holders, at least. Their diploma also must be considered by the government in employment, he explained.
He stated that, "We are asking the government to announce that the Diploma holders in Agriculture Engineering are also eligible for posts in government".
He further added that, "There are jobs in government for polytechnic diploma holders. We are asking for it".
Actually, there are jobs for Agriculture Diploma holders. But these are Agriculture Engineering diploma holders. Both Agriculture diploma and Agriculture Engineering diploma are based on tenth standard. The main difference is the agri diploma teaches only about agriculture, whereas agri engineering trains on both agriculture and farm mechanization, the students informed.
"When the government is boasting about encouraging farm mechanization, it should also encourage the agri engineers too", the students observed.
He further added that, "There are jobs in government for agriculture polytechnic diploma holders. We are asking the government to consider the agriculture engineering polytechnic diploma holders also for it".
