Jharkhand Cabinet Approves 75% Private Job Quota For Locals

Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand government on March 12 approved an employment policy to reserve 75% private sector jobs, up to a salary of Rs 30,000, for locals. However, few modalities are likely to be announced on March 17. Notably, Jharkhand will become the second state to have announced such policy after Haryana. As per a minister, the local employment policy will be based on the definition of "Jharkhandi" that will be devised by a 3-member sub-committee.
