News India Live, Digital Desk: State Chief Minister Hemant Soren has taken a very big and historic decision for the youth of Jharkhand. Now, any new private company, factory or outsourcing agency coming up in the state will have to provide an estimate of its total jobs. 75 percent Part will have to be reserved for local people. This means that now 3 out of every 4 jobs in the industries set up in Jharkhand will be available only to the youth of Jharkhand.

In a high-level meeting held on Friday, the Chief Minister has instructed the Labor Department officials to strictly implement this rule.

What is this new rule?

The full name of this rule is ‘Jharkhand State Employment of Local Candidates in Private Sector Act, 2021’. Although this law had already been made, but now the government has decided to implement it with full strictness.

• Which jobs will it apply to?: This rule will be applicable to all those private sector jobs in which monthly salary Rs 40,000 Till then. This reservation will not be applicable on jobs with salaries higher than this.
• Mandatory for all companies: This rule will be applicable to every new factory, company, joint venture and projects running on PPP mode to be established in the state.
