75% quota in private jobs for Haryanvis soon

Chandigarh, July 6

The Haryana Cabinet which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar here today approved a proposal for drafting “Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Ordinance 2020” to address unemployment on a priority basis.

Rs 50,000 salary cap

• Jobs with salaries less than Rs50,000 per month to be reserved for local youth in privately managed companies, societies, trusts in Haryana
• Ordinance will be implemented once it receives the assent of the Governor and the President of India

The draft of the ordinance that will be brought before the Council of Ministers at its next meeting will provide for 75 per cent of the fresh employment for local candidates in jobs having salaries less than Rs 50,000 per month in privately managed companies, societies, trusts, limited liability partnership firms and partnership firms situated in Haryana.

However, the employers will have the option of limiting the candidate count from one district to 10 per cent.

Deputy Chief Minister and JJP leader Dushyant Chautala put the proposal for a draft of ordinance before the Cabinet which was immediately passed. The Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) had promised the youth 75 per cent reservation in private sector jobs.

Terming it a “historical day”, Chautala said it would be mandatory for industries and companies in the private sector to give 75 per cent jobs to Haryana youth. The BJP-JJP government was committed to providing employment to the youth, he added.

Chautala said the companies would face a penalty from Rs 25,000 to Rs 1 lakh if they were not registered on the portal. — TNS
