Addressing the beneficiaries of Chief Minister Apprentice Training Programme, Chief Minister Rupani said, “We are going to make legal provision that companies entering into industry and service sector here will have to give 80% employment to Gujaratis. The government is forming a law for this. The companies will also be responsible for accommodate locals in 25% jobs. We intend to benefit locals in terms of jobs and employment.”
It should be noted here that as per this resolution of 1995 — which define locals as those who have been living in the state for the past 15 years — all private, state and central government entities operating in the state have to keep at least 85 per cent positions (in the workers grade) reserved for locals, while the percentage could be 50 per cent for locals in managerial and supervisorial roles. The state government currently seeks information about the local workforce from all the industrial units every six months.
