Karnataka Rakshana Vedike to launch campaign demanding legal quota for Kannadigas in IT companies

The Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) is preparing to launch a public campaign demanding legal job reservations for Kannadigas in IT companies. At a press conference in Bengaluru on Tuesday, KRV president T A Narayana Gowda stated that the organization would use collected employment data to assess Kannadiga representation across the IT sector. Gowda said the larger objective is to push for legislation based on the Sarojini Mahishi committee's recommendations, noting that Kannadigas currently make up only 20-23% of the workforce at IT companies in Bengaluru.
