Andhra Pradesh ki sarkari naukriyon ka ek bada hissa ab 'outsourcing' ke zariye aata hai. Lekin ab High Court ne is practice par sawal uthaya hai. Court ne kaha hai ki sarkari departments mein outsourcing ke zariye lagayi ja rahi lambi contract jobs 'labour exploitation' ya shram shoshan hain. The New Indian Express ki report ke mutabiq, yeh faisla 5 April, 2026 ko aaya. Seedhi baat hai: sarkar permanent naukriyan kam de rahi hai aur contract par zyada bharti kar rahi hai. Court ka yeh faisla isi system par chot hai.
APCOS Kya Hai? Outsourcing Ka Dukaan
AP ka poora outsourcing model ek khasi company ke gird ghoomta hai — APCOS. APCOS ka matlab hai Andhra Pradesh Corporation for Outsourced Services. Is company ko hi mukhya peshawar banaya gaya hai sarkari departments ke liye contract staff lene ka. YSR Congress ki website ke mutabiq, is company ki shuruat 3 July, 2020 ko Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy ne ki thi. Idea tha ki departments ko alag-alag bharti process se bachaya ja sake aur ek centralized system se kaam chalaya ja sake.
Lekin problem yahan se shuru hoti hai. APCOS ke zariye aane wale employees technically sarkar ke nahi, balki APCOS ke hote hain. Woh sarkari office mein kaam karte hain, lekin unka appointment, salary, aur benefits sab APCOS deti hai. Iska seedha matlab yeh hai ki in employees ko woh sab suvidhaen nahi milti jo ek regular sarkari employee ko milti hain, jaise pension, job security, aur promotion ka clear rasta.
High Court Ne Kya Kaha? 'Shram Shoshan' Ka Tag
Court ka faisla bahut clear hai. Court ne kaha ki agar ek employee ko saalon tak ek hi department mein contract basis par rakha ja raha hai, toh yeh exploitation hai. Aam bhasha mein samjhein toh: agar aap kisi ko permanent naukri nahi dena chahte, lekin uska kaam permanent ka hi lena chahte hain, toh yeh galat hai.
"Long-term contract jobs through outsourcing in government departments amount to labour exploitation." — Andhra Pradesh High Court
Court ne yeh baat ek specific case ke dauran kahi, jahan employees ne apne rights ke liye petition dala tha. Yeh faisla sirf ek case tak seemit nahi hai. Iska asar poore state ke outsourcing model par padega. Ab sarkar ko is practice ko justify karna ya badalna hoga.
Kahan-Kahan Ho Rahi Hai Aisi Bharti?
APCOS ke zariye bharti ka daur kafi vyapak hai. Kayi sarkari departments iska istemal kar rahi hain.
- Chittoor District: Chittoor district ki website par outsourcing basis par kayi posts ke liye notifications aaye hain.
- Medical Colleges: Sakshi Education ne May 2025 mein report kiya tha ki Government Medical College, Eluru mein bhi contract jobs ke liye bharti nikali gayi thi.
- Dusre Rajyon Mein Bhi: Yeh masla sirf AP tak seemit nahi hai. Careers360 ki ek report ke mutabiq, Jammu-Kashmir mein bhi sarkar ne 23,000 se zyada naukriyan outsourcing ke zariye bhari hain, jise opposition ne aarop lagaya hai.
Yeh sab dikhata hai ki outsourcing ab sarkari bharti ka ek common model ban chuka hai.
Kyun Badh Raha Hai Outsourcing Ka Chalal?
Sarkar ke liye outsourcing ke kuch clear faide hain, jo ise attractive banate hain:
- Financial Flexibility: Permanent employees par aane wala financial burden kam hota hai. No pension, less liability.
- Less Administrative Hassle: Bharti process, salary distribution, aur disciplinary actions ka jhameela APCOS ko sambhalna hota hai, department ko nahi.
- Quick Hiring: Permanent bharti ki lengthy process se bach jaate hain, jaldi se staff mil jaata hai.
Lekin employee ke nazariye se, yeh faide nuksan mein badal jaate hain — job security nahi, future nahi, aur barabar ke benefits nahi.
Hamaari Baat: Naukri Ki Guarantee Ya Contract Ki Chakkar?
Seedha sawal yeh hai: kya sarkar ka kaam temporary staff se chalana chahiye? Hamari nazar mein, High Court ka faisla bilkul sahi hai. Ek young graduate jo sarkari naukri ki tayyari karta hai, woh stability aur samman ke liye karta hai. Use outsourcing ke chakkar mein daal kar, uski ummeedon se khelna theek nahi hai.
Ha, sarkar ko apna budget manage karna hai. Lekin iska hal permanent posts kam karna nahi, balki apne system ko efficient banana hona chahiye. Outsourcing ek aasan rasta hai, lekin yeh desh ke yuvaon ke sath insaaf nahi hai. Court ne jo 'shram shoshan' kaha hai, woh ek strong shabd hai. Isse sarkar ko sochna chahiye. Kya hum aisi economy banana chahte hain jahan sarkari naukri bhi 'gig' ban jaye? Is faisle ke baad, APCOS aur state sarkar ko apne model par dobara vichar karna hoga. Varna, aane wale samay mein aise kayi cases court tak pahuchenge.
