The draft State Employment of local Candidates in industries Factories and Other Establishments Bill, which would require the reservation of 50% of management jobs and 75% of non-management jobs for Kannadigas, was approved by the karnataka cabinet to give priority to Kannadigas in the state. This law will be presented during the current assembly session and includes the whole private sector, including the IT industry.
 
In an X post, karnataka labor minister Santosh Lad said, “It is a pleasure to share with all of you that the bill to provide job reservation for Kannadigas in private sectors has been approved in the cabinet meeting. With the implementation of this bill, Kannadigas will get 50% to 75% reservation in private sector jobs in the state.”

The bill also emphasizes the fine for businesses that fail to give Kannadigas priority while hiring in the state. Companies who violate the bill's terms would be fined between ₹10,000 and ₹25,000, and daily collections of ₹100 will be made until the local employer count conforms to the bill.
 
Who is a local candidate in Karnataka?
Speaking kannada does not automatically make one a Kannadiga, according to the draft bill. A person must pass a test administered by a nodal agency and have lived in the state for 15 years to be eligible. Establishments are eligible to ask for exemptions, and in some circumstances, the government will permit some relaxations. However, for group 'C' and 'D' blue-collar employment, all private companies are required to hire exclusively Kannadigas.

Shivaraj S. Tangadagi, the minister for kannada and culture, informed the assembly in february that all multinational corporations doing business in the state are required to post the number of Kannadiga employees on notice boards. He also stated that these firms' permits can be revoked if they don't follow this condition.
 
Later, DK Shivakumar, the deputy chief minister of karnataka, rejected such regulations, referring to Bengaluru as a global metropolis and saying that the administration had no such intentions.
