31 Telangana candidates qualify for civil services final interview

Hyderabad, Nov 12 (UNI) The Rajiv Gandhi Civils Abhayahastam scheme, supported by Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), has yielded encouraging results, with 31 candidates from Telangana qualifying in the Civil Services Main examination and securing a place in the final interview.
The State Government will provide an additional financial incentive of Rs 1 lakh each to the 31 candidates to support their preparation for the final stage of the selection process, a release said here on Thursday.
Under the scheme, Singareni had extended financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh each to 158 candidates from Telangana who qualified in the Civil Services Preliminary examination.
An amount of Rs 1.58 crore was credited directly into their bank accounts to help them prepare for the Mains examination.
Of the 158 beneficiaries, 31 have now qualified for the final interview, prompting the government to announce another round of financial assistance.
Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka congratulated the successful candidates and expressed hope that all 31 would clear the interview and secure positions in the Civil Services, bringing laurels to Telangana.
Singareni has been supporting the scheme through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds for the past two years.
While seven candidates succeeded in the first year and 20 in the second year, taking the cumulative number of successful candidates to 27, another 31 have now reached the interview stage.
Singareni Chairman and Managing Director Dr Buddha Prakash Jyothi expressed confidence that a significant number of candidates would succeed in the final interview this year.
He said the State Government would organise mock interviews for the candidates and Singareni would extend the necessary support.
Warangal district topped the list with six candidates qualifying for the interview, followed by Medchal-Malkajgiri with four.
