The Congress government in Telangana has provided employment to more than one lakh youth in just two years, with an additional 15,000 to 20,000 jobs expected soon through skill development initiatives, said Congress MP Gaddam Vamsi Krishna on Wednesday, 7 May 2025. The MP made the remarks while addressing a mega job fair organised in his constituency Peddapalli, as part of the 99-day Praja Palana-Pragati Pranalika initiative.
Key Announcements at the Peddapalli Job Fair
State IT Minister Sridhar Babu also participated in the event, which drew enthusiastic participation from large numbers of unemployed youth who interacted with recruiters and explored various employment avenues. Minister Sridhar Babu noted that 4,000 job opportunities have already been provided through TASK (Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge), with 1,500 candidates from the shortlist securing placements so far. He also announced that a similar job fair will soon be organised in Mancherial district to benefit local youth.
Expanding Skill Infrastructure Across Telangana
MP Vamsi Krishna highlighted that the state currently operates 65 Advanced Technology Centres (ATCs) imparting modern skills to the unemployed. He added that 120 new ATCs are being set up across Telangana, which are expected to generate 15,000 to 20,000 additional job opportunities in the coming days. The MP stressed that skills aligned with current industry needs are essential for securing quality employment. He also requested the government to organise a similar job fair in Mancherial district.
New TASK Centres Inaugurated in Manthani
Earlier in the day, Vamsi Krishna and Minister Sridhar Babu jointly inaugurated the TASK-AVGC & Artificial Intelligence Center and the TASK-CtrlS Talent Center in Manthani. The MP advised youth to pursue training in modern fields such as Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming and Comics (AVGC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), describing them as sectors with vast employment potential.
According to Vamsi Krishna, the talent centre — established jointly by TASK and CtrlS Datacenters Ltd — will provide industry-tailored training to students, particularly those from rural backgrounds.
Point of View
But it arrives without an independent verification framework — a recurring gap in state employment announcements. The expansion to 120 ATCs and the inauguration of AVGC and AI centres in rural Manthani signal genuine intent to move beyond urban skilling, but the proof will be in placement rates, not centre counts. With Telangana's youth unemployment still a live issue, the Congress government is clearly building a jobs narrative ahead of the political cycle — the question is whether the numbers hold up to scrutiny.
