Ranchi: The JMM-led government may face fresh trouble from socio-political organizations in the state for not coming up with a definition for local people, but for delaying in formulating the state employment policy.
It may be noted that the lack of definition for the local people of the state is delaying the implementation of 75%. quota in private jobs. A Bill in this regard, Jharkhand State Local Candidates Appointment Bill, 2021, was passed by the Assembly and is pending with the Law Department.
The gazette notification made by the Bill is similar to Haryana Government on Saturday. Under the provisions of the bill, all private companies will have to reserve 75% of the jobs for local job seekers with a salary of Rs 40,000 or less. The bill also provides for strict implementation and defaulters may face fines and penalties of up to Rs 5 lakh for non-compliance.
On Saturday, the Haryana government notified that all private firms in the state will have to provide 75% quota to local job seekers for posts with salaries up to Rs 50,000. It will be implemented from 15 January 2022.
Meanwhile, representatives of 54 different social organizations including Adivasis and Moolvasi (non-tribal residents of the state) gathered here on Saturday and discussed the urgent need to define local residents and the government’s policy to give them priority in employment opportunities. discussed.
The convener of the session, educationist Dr Karma Oraon said that the objective of the fight for separate Jharkhand is to give a fair share to the local people which includes tribals and indigenous peoples. “Somehow, all the political parties have left the indigenous people behind, shattering their dreams and aspirations,” he cautioned the JMM-led coalition government. Formation of Jharkhand
Oraon further said, “We still find outsiders decorating seats in power corridors and local people are not getting employment due to lack of policy.”
The deliberations were joined by people crossing political lines, who agreed on the need to define the local people.
In his argument, the state’s first Chief Minister and BJP leader, Babulal Marandi said that his attempt to present the policy of the local people during his tenure as CM was misunderstood by the people. “There was an urgent need to adopt an employment policy to give weightage to the local people and hence we adopted the policy of local people formulated in 1982 in erstwhile Bihar. This policy was based on the final land survey report,” he admitted. The policy of defining people and the policy of recruiting people to the state services complement each other.
Former Union Minister and Congressman Subodh Kant Sahai claimed that the fight for the policy of the local people was more relevant to the indigenous people than the tribals. “Both the groups should understand that there is no fight between Adivasis and indigenous peoples, rather the indigenous people have a strong claim to priority in the employment policy of the government,” he said.
Apart from political representatives, a large number of civil society organizations and activists also addressed the gathering. Noted anti-displacement activist, Dayamani Barla said that they are fighting to protect ‘Khatian’ (land survey conducted and published by the British in 1932). “Local people cannot be defined without giving due credit to the Khatians,” she said.
However, organizations failed to reach any consensus on the cut-off date for defining local residents, despite agreeing on the need for a certain policy. The Assembly, however, agreed to the suggestion that the electoral roll of 1952 should be taken as the benchmark to define the local people and to follow the final land survey report.
Representing the Muslim community, which forms a large part of the indigenous people of the state, activist S Ali said the fight was not just to get jobs. “The natives will feel that if they are not considered Jharkhandis, they will be left out,” he said.
Oraon said that the purpose of the meeting was to make the government aware of the sentiments of the common people. “Our 72-member core committee will hold another meeting on November 16 and fix a date for the march to Raj Bhavan so that the government can shake off its sleep on the matter,” he said.
