NEW DELHI: There is no proposal to bring in legislation for reservation in the private sector, Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Subbulakshmi Jagadeesan told the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
In a written reply, she said demands had been made in the media and by people’s representatives for legislation but there was no such proposal.
Affirmative action
Replying to a separate question, she said industry associations were in favour of affirmative action and willing to intensify their efforts in developing skill and entrepreneurial abilities among those belonging to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.
“In the discussions with industry associations, there was a general agreement on positive discrimination in employment in favour of SC/ST persons. The chambers are agreeable to reporting of data on SC/ST employment,” she said.
