In contrast, units such as Telangana Minority Study Circle, CEDM, the Survey Commission of Wakfs, and Telangana Waqf Board report no sanction or deployment of outsourcing staff.

The Telangana Government Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGMREIS) has the highest sanctioned outsourcing numbers, with 799 posts, while 3,488 positions are occupied overall.

Notably, 2,689 employees are currently filling regular posts through outsourcing in vacant positions, creating a robust but irregular workforce structure.

Despite these numbers, grave concerns remain over daily wage earners. Presently, 12 such workers—including sweepers, toilet cleaners, attenders, data entry operators, and others—are employed on a daily wage of ₹600 per day. These employees have not received any wages for the past four months, leaving them in financial distress.

A source stated, “Waqf Board is not paying salaries on par with other employees. Government is paying maintenance for Haj House yearly, but the 12 are also not paid regularly, whereas babus in Waqf Board are enjoying monthly salaries. These daily wage staff even have to wash the babus’ tiffins, and women constitute many among the 12.”

Questions are being raised about the use of the Waqf Board’s resources, especially as a source claimed the board has a ₹60 crore fixed deposits, yet cannot ensure regular salaries for its daily wage workers.

“Why is Waqf Board not paying them, whereas sources claim that the Waqf Board has 60 cr FD? Where is that money utilized?” asked one source. The hardship is further underscored by reports that some daily workers’ parents are now beginning to survive.

These stark contrasts between sanctioned staff, vacant posts, and the financial plight of the most vulnerable employees highlight the urgent need for more equitable and transparent workforce management within the Minorities Welfare Department.

It is known that the outsourcing personnel will be redeployed through a private agency.(Maxim News)
