It was on the 5th of November of 2020, the state of Haryana under Manohar Lal Khattar government passed the Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Bill. Then on 26th February 2021 it came into news that Governor Satyadeo Narayan Arya gave his assent to the bill thereby making it an act. This year in the first half itself i.e. March 2021 saw another bill introduced by the Hemant Soren government, Jharkhand State Employment of Local Candidates Bill which had a resemblance to the one introduced in Haryana too which piques our interest that why are the states introducing these employment bills. So, let's delve deeper into our subject. Amid the pandemic era and lockdown, many Indian states have been facing economic slowdown including a rise in the rates of unemployment. To deal with this quandary many states have resolved to different methods. A few months back the state of Haryana passed a bill regarding 75% job reservation to the natives of the state in the private sector which became a debatable topic. But it is to be taken into account that Haryana was not the first state where such a type of reservation policy was introduced. Even before it states like that of Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka too introduced it. But here a million dollar question arises whether these incentives taken by the government are right? Is it legally correct? But before pondering upon these points we need to get acquainted with the provisions pertinent to the reservation policy.
