    What's the story

    The Karnataka cabinet, under Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, has approved a bill requiring all private firms in the state to reserve 100% of Group C and Group D positions for Kannadigas.

    The decision was announced by the Chief Minister on social media platform X, following a cabinet meeting held on Monday.

    "The Cabinet meeting...approved a bill to make recruitment of 100 percent Kannadigas mandatory for 'C and D' grade posts in all private industries in the state," he said.

    Welfare commitment

    'We are pro-Kannada government...': Siddaramaiah

    Siddaramaiah added that the bill demonstrates the government's dedication to providing Kannadigas with sufficient job opportunities within their own state, seeking to avert employment deprivation in what he called "Kannada land."

    "We are a pro-Kannada government. Our priority is to look after the welfare of Kannadigas," the chief minister said.

    Reports suggest that the bill will be tabled on Thursday in the assembly.

    Twitter Post

    ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರು ಕನ್ನಡದ ನೆಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ವಂಚಿತರಾಗುವುದನ್ನು ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿ, ತಾಯ್ನಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನೆಮ್ಮದಿಯ ಬದುಕು ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು… pic.twitter.com/UwvsJtrT2q

    The bill is known as the "Karnataka State Employment of Local Candidates in the Industries, Factories and Other Establishments Bill, 2024."

    The bill stipulates that any industry, factory or other establishment should appoint 50% of local candidates in management categories and 70% in non-management categories.

    The proposed bill includes provisions for training local candidates if qualified ones are not available.

    However, such relaxation shall not be less than 25% for management category and 50% for non-management categories, as per the proposed bill.
