In episode 695 of 'Cut The Clutter', Shekhar Gupta explains the provisions, politics and pitfalls of a new employment law in Haryana, and how it is suicidal for the state's growth story.
The Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Bill, 2020, which provides 75% reservation for state residents in private sector jobs, grants labour officers unbridled powers.
Former Haryana Congress chief Ashok Tanwar will launch his party Thursday at Delhi's Constitution Club of India. He quit the party ahead of state polls last year.
Villages in five Haryana districts — Kurukshetra, Ambala, Rohtak, Karnal and Panchkula — now have 100 per cent tap water connection, provided under the Nal Se Jal programme.
Haryana launched Mera Pani Meri Virasat scheme, aimed at encouraging farmers to diversify beyond paddy, in May last year. It promises Rs 7,000 per acre of diversified crop.
Who knows the Lamborghini guy escaped the toll on purpose. After all, they could not test the beast by touching the odometer to 200 kmph. Most highways in India do not have the speed limit beyond 120 kmph.
While global corporations setting up GCCs in India continue to express confidence in availability of skilled AI engineers, the panel argued that India’s real challenge lies elsewhere.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
Haryana is not a standout…populism, communalism, tribalism and jingoism has been the standard fare in Indian politics for eons…Khattar may think he’s winning votes by passing this law but may turn out to be pyrrhic victory…talk about smiting one’s nose to spite one’s face, and shooting oneself in the foot.
Modi and his bunch of bigots have only one way of getting votes and coming to power-Divide and rule.Khattar has his back to the wall and knows that he is done for in the next elections unless he can come up with a new formula to divide-Haryanvis vs Non-Haryanvis.The purpose is not to get Haryanvis jobs(as he knows such a law is against the constitution and will get struck down in courts),but to keep himself in a job by trying to appeal to the baser instincts of the people .Till the people of India said up and recognise bigotry for what it is,all this drama will continue,however much hand-wringing is done by commentators like Me Das.
It’s a curse to live in a country like India where even conservative governements follow socialism and ruin the country. Shame on BJP. RSS morons brainwash bjp with stupid economics.
THE CORRUPT & GREEDY POLITICIANS ARE BIGGEST ENEMY OF THIS COUNTRY. BJP HAS DEARTH OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED & CAPABLE POLITICIANS WHO ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR ANY HIGH ADMINISTRATIVE POST. THE USELESS HARYANA CM MUST BE DISMISSED FOR UNITY OF THIS COUNTRY. SUCH SELFISH DECISION WILL DISINTEGRATE INDIA. THIS IS MAIN REASON FOR ACUTE SHORTAGE OF TALENT IN THIS COUNTRY.
This is a hare brained idea. Whoever came up with this idea as also the people who approved it need to be booted out of the government by the BJP top brass. Sheer cussedness!
Blah blah .. no comany hires the haryanvi even when he has potential n skill for a job. should we also be migrant to seek jobs. search yrself. how many people are harynavi in these companies. this law is good . if u dont wanna hire us , then plz move to other states.
No private company can reject anyone on the basis of their Haryanvi background. It is no government recruitment, private firms are agnostic to caste creed religion. There is no favoritism here, just your merit counts. And you cant run your state as a Republic of Haryana under the dominion of India. The law is harmful for Haryana, just learn something from your next door neighbor Punjab who has failed to create any industry in their state.
The grapes are sour syndrome.
I am sorry but have to state the obvious to you to clarify your bigoted view of the real scenario. Have you noticed the arrogance of most of the local youth ? They want the GMs chair from day 1. They generally lack the patience to learn and grow with time in harmony with the organisation. Why would any private organisation aiming for efficiency hire a potential problem if not having a death wish ? Has the government given any support even by way of labour policy or anything else let alone any real support other than stupid roadblocks and more red tape almost every day ?
Yea and soon will something come up in UP law too then at least push out international investor move to Bangladesh or Vietnam, and of course domestic company will struggle to what to do, in fact in new India we don’t need much of economic progress, welfare of people, quality of education, world class healthcare system, innovation, entrepreneur society, a decision driven by science and research and so on…We have many other issue and law that we been debating or fighting for few year now and no need to tell that as that already known to all sensible citizen that’s the climate have been built now.
By the way, if you visit any multinational office in Gurgaon, you will find that around 90% of support staff is illegal Bangladeshi migrants. All these are employed through contractors.
What BJP is not seeing is that their Government is being sabotaged by their chosen ally. It is just new sophisticated method to show to a particular community that their party promotes the interests of a particular community . .in Last years it was in the name of Reservation for a particular community an agitation was launched . That was to show to a particular community living in urban ares of Haryana . Then last year saw (still continuing ) Rural population of a particular community misled into opposing farm laws. BJP high command should note their party will lose more votes by this type of employment restrictions based on domicile, that too in private sector .. in all adjoining states and far off states. .Even in USA ex-President Mr. Trump , Mr. Modi s friend , was not able to win election by imposing restrictions on immigration from other countries. immigration and emigration promote development of all India level markets not only for inputs– man, material, services , but output also and promotes national integration, Those governing Haryana should see bigger picture .Think bigger . Act bigger .

Don’t agree with law but highly skilled people that you can’t get easily, should be paid more than 50k monthly.

Arguably the finest article I have ever read on The Print in the last one year.
First time I have to say The print you are right. An India needs media like you.

Khattar is an idiot out there to demolish Modi’s legacy….. Without Migrants Haryana is a village.
I would prefer stepping into my washroom than to put my foot in Haryana..
By the way, if you visit any multinational office in Gurgaon, you will find that around 90% of support staff is illegal Bangladeshi migrants. All these are employed through contractors.
If that rule is made applicable to farm workers , there will probably be no farm produce, in absence of the migrant farm workers.
