Karnataka Group Launches Campaign to Assess Employment Opportunities for Kannadigas
The Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KaRaVe) announced a month-long campaign starting November 1 to investigate alleged discrimination against Kannadigas in the state's IT and biotechnology sectors. Teams will visit companies to gather data on recruitment practices, meet officials, and submit memorandums demanding fair employment opportunities for local candidates. The campaign follows concerns raised by Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar about sidelining locals in private sector jobs and aims to address grievances from Kannadiga professionals regarding hiring biases.
