BENGALURU:
In a significant move, the Karnataka government has approved a bill ensuring 100% reservation for Kannadigas in Category C and D positions within all state industries. The bill also seeks to reserve 50% of management and 75% of non-management jobs for locals in the private sector .
Chief Minister Siddaramiah took to social media platform X to announce the development. He emphasized that the government’s top priority is the welfare of Kannadigas , ensuring they find employment in their native land. “Our government is committed to protecting the interests of Kannadigas ,” he posted.
The decision stems from the Labour Department’s report indicating that most jobs in state industries are being filled by workers from North India. The bill, named the State Employment of Local Candidates in the Industries, Factories, and Other Establishments Bill, 2024, was previously supported by the Sarojini Mahishi Committee report but lacked formal policies. In addition to this bill, seven other bills, including the Karnataka Goods and Services (Amendment) Bill and the Karnataka Irrigation (Amendment) Bill, 2024, were approved during the cabinet meeting.
