CII not for job quota in private sector

Staff Correspondent

NEW DELHI: Even as the Government claimed that major industrial players had agreed on affirmative action including reservation of jobs in the private sector, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has opposed the reservation and favoured further dialogue on the issue.

"We do not agree to reservation in private sector for the weaker sections,'' CII's new president, Y.C. Deveshwar, said here on Tuesday.

"CII is in agreement with the objectives of reservation and believes there is a need to devise a long-term productive strategy by closer coordination between private sector and the Government to facilitate job creation,'' he said.

Similar reaction came from Assocham president, N.K. Sanghi, who said that the Chamber had expressed its reluctance and suggested alternative affirmative actions.

The Chamber had declared its stand in writing to the Group of Ministers set up by the Government to look into the issue and said it was ready for further dialogue.
