Karnataka govt bats for 100 percent quota for Kannadigas in private
sector
Bengaluru: The Congress-run Karnataka
Government wants 100 percent
reservation for Kannadigas in
all private sector jobs in the state, barring IT and biotechnology firms, a
media report said on Thursday, 22nd December 2016, Zee news reports.
The government has sought public suggestions to the draft
amendments to the Karnataka Industrial Employment Rules 1961, providing for 100
percent quota.
The reservation will not be applicable to the IT and
biotechnology sectors, as they avail concessions under the state industrial
policy.
The draft amendments also call for providing not less than five
percent of employment to persons with disabilities to get government
incentives.
"Every industrial establishment which has obtained
concession of land, water, electricity or tax rebate or deferment of tax as per
state industrial policy shall provide horizontal reservation of 100 percent in
employment to local people (Kannadigas) in case of workmen classified in
sub-clause (a),(b),(c),(d),(e),(f) and (g) and above," ANI quoted the
notification on the draft rules as saying.
"Every industrial establishment shall provide not less than
five per cent of employment to? persons with disabilities in case of workmen
classified in sub clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) and above in
order to get incentives from government," the notification added.
Official sources, however, said IT/ITeS/BT/start-ups/
knowledge-based industries are exempted from the applicability of Karnataka
Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Rules for five years.
According to the notification, local people or Kannadiga means
any person born in Karnataka or who has lived in the state for not less than 15
years and knows to read, write, speak and understand Kannada.
A person with disabilities means any person with disabilities as
defined in the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of
Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995.
The rules that may be called Karnataka Industrial Employment
(Standing Orders) (Amendment) Rules, 2016 shall come into force from the date
of their final publication in the official gazette.
