Explained: The Karnataka quota bill and criticism surrounding it

The 'Karnataka State Employment of Local Candidates in the Industries, Factories and Other Establishments Bill, 2024' aims to reserve 50% of jobs at the management level and 70% at the non-management level for local candidates. One of the primary concerns is that the bill could lead to a scarcity of skilled talent in the state. Companies may struggle to find local candidates with the required skills, which may hinder their operations and growth.
