The State government on Friday issued appointment orders to 1,194 candidates for recruiting them as lecturers in pre-university colleges.
In a symbolic gesture, Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa handed over appointment letters to 28 candidates in the presence of Primary and Secondary Education Minister S. Suresh Kumar.
