The new Karnataka Employment Policy, 2022-25, has mandated investors to increase the number of jobs for locals while expanding their industrial units or setting up new industries in the State.
The State Cabinet on Friday cleared the policy. Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J.C. Madhuswamy told presspersons after the Cabinet meeting that there were specific guidelines on how various industries should provide employment. “Under the new policy, the number of jobs should be increased and locals should be employed,” he said.
