PV Sindhu as Group-1 officer

Amaravati, May 17: Andhra Pradesh State government has been passed a bill to appoint P V Sindhu as a Group-1 officer by amending state public services Act here on Tuesday.

While coming to matter, as we knew that PV Sindhu bags the Olympics silver medal-winning shuttler recently.

Accordingly, finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu introduced a bill to amend the Act and it was passed unanimously in the Assembly.



Certain provisions in the Andhra Pradesh Regulation of Appointments to Public Services and Rationalisation of Staff Pattern and Pay Structure Act, 1994, prevented the appointment of the badminton player, as any recruitment in public service should only be through the AP Public Service Commission, selection committee or employment exchange.

Meanwhile, To give effect to the Cabinet resolution, the govt decided to amend section 4 of the aforementioned law to enable the appointment of Sindhu, directly in the cadre of a revenue divisional officer.
