Our Motto

KUV was formed with a motto to bring together all the Kannadiga's under one platform and fight for their employments rights in Karnataka.

In 1983 the Government of Karnataka formed a committee to study the position of employment of Kannadigas in Karnataka. This was called the 'SAROJINI MAHISHI COMMITTEE'. This committee studied the position of employment in the state and submitted its report along with recommendations to the Government of Karnataka on 30-12-1986. Karnataka Government immediately accepted these recommendations, but failed to implement the same until now.

What is the report of the committee?
In Karnataka job preference towards kannadigas:

State Government Offices-100%
State Public Sector Undertakings-100%
Central Government Offices.
Central Public Sector Undertakings.
Banks and other financial undertakings.
Private Establishments.( E.g. - Industries, Corporate, Factories, IT-BT etc)

In 3,4,5,6,

A grade jobs—65%
B grade jobs-----80%
C grade jobs----100%
D grade jobs-----100%

Who is a Kannadiga?
A person who has lived in Karnataka for 15 years and knows how to read,write and speak Kannada is called as Kannadiga.

According to the Indian Constitution, a person can go and work and settle in any part of the country.

Then why preference in employment should be given to KANNADIGAS in Karnataka.

1.Land :- Any industry, Factory or company comes to Karnataka, our Government will acquire hundreds of acres of land and give it to those who will start them. In this process, thousands of people will loose their livelihood. They are small farmers who are engaged in agriculture, horticultural, diaryfarm, sheepfarm, poultry etc. Agriculture related activities.
Our Government will Grab the land from them and give it to those so called Industrialists.
By this action of Government who are the ones who last their livelihood?
We Kannadigas.

2.Registration:-If an ordinary person buys one inch of land, Government won’t give any subsidy in its registration.But hundreds of acres of land grabbed from these farmers, Government will give it to the so called Industrialists at a lowest rate. Even in the registration of such huge lands, Government will give them subsidy.
By giving this subsidy, who will be at loss.?
We Kannadigas.

3.Water :-In our State, in every district there is water problem. Even in the state capital Bangalore, every area gets water once in 2-3 days. In most of the places, people have to go 2-3 Km. for one pot of water. But for these companies and industries, our Government is giving 24/7 water i.e continues supply of water.
Who are the real owners of this water?
We Kannadigas.

4.Electricity:-Except for Bangalore, current problem is there through out Karnataka. In Every town or city, no work in done without the help of a generator. If one has small business or a hotel, without generator he cannot survive . Every house must and should have an UPS.
In villages current will be there from 6.00PM – 6.00AM. When will the farmer go and leave the water to their fields? In the middle of the night,they go and switch on the pumpsets and leave the water to the fields.In this process people loose their lives by Snake bites and attack of wild animals.
But our Government is giving 24/7 current to these industrialist to sit and work in centrally air conditions buildings and also to run their business in 2 – 3 shifts
But who are the rightful owners of this current?
We Kannadigas.

5.Tax:-If a person starts a small business, he has to pay the sales tax from the day one. But if one starts any industry, company, factory in Karnataka, our Government will give them 10 – 25 years of tax benefit.
But who are the looser of this tax.?
We Kannadigas.

6.Entry tax:-If any industry, company or factory starts in Karnataka, to import machinery and other computer peripherals, our Government will exempt them from entry tax.
If an ordinary man wants to import a computer, it will cost around 40 – 50 k. But the same computer these companies will get for 5 – 10k.
How much in the tax loss?.
Who are the looser of this tax?
We Kannadigas.

7.If a company gives jobs for more then 1000 people, for such project our Government gives concession and incentives. (But those 1000 people may not be Kannadigas)
Who are the losser of this concessions and incentives.
We Kannadigas.

8. If any one wants to start a company or industry in Karnataka, The Government will also give them Venture Capital.
Who has to be the really beneficiary of this Venture Capital.
We Kannadigas.

9.IT Park -If you go and see these IT Parks, you think you are somewhere is America or Europe. What in there in these IT Parks.?

1.Centrally Air condition buildings.

Who has to be the actual beneficiarys of these IT Parks.?
We Kannadigas.

10.Special Economic Zone ( S.E.Z.):-To start these you need 10,000 hectare of land. At least 100 hectare of land is a must. Any thing which is started in that region will get 100s of benefit at lowest cost.
Ex : Outside rent for 1sq.ft is Rs.2,000/- to Rs 4.000/- but in this SEZ zone 1sq,ft.is Rs. 34/- only.
Thousands of jobs are created in this area. But not for Kannadigas.
Who has to be the real beneficiarys of this SEZ - ZONE? .
We Kannadigas.

11.Labour Laws:-To promote IT – BT companies, our Government had exempted these companies from Labour Laws for 12 year. That mean these people can remove any one any time from work without giving any reasons. This rule has come to an end on 31-12-2012.
But due to the pressure from companies, our Government is still following the same rule.
Those Kannadigas who are not working also, their quality of life has been drastically reduced.

How?.

1.The rate of the sites have touched the sky . A common man cannot buy a small house in Bangalore.

2.House rents are abnormal. A house rent which used to be Rs.2,000/ - Rs.3,000/- is now Rs. 15,000/- Rs.20,000/-.Where Ten people used live,in same area now Thousand people are live.

3.About 10years back, we used get water 24/7. Now we are getting water once in 2 – 3 days. Water rates have reached roof.

4.Continues Current problem.

5.Heavy Garbage problem. Once a Garden City has now become Garbage City.

6.Traffic problem – Where every you go Heavy Traffic problem.

7. Air Pollution, Sound Pollution, Environment Pollution - Bangalore has been the centre of all disease .

8. Once Bangalore was “Pensioner Paradise. Now it is Pensioner Hell”.If you go on making a list, there won’t be any end for it.These so called industrialist, getting concessions, incentives , tax benefits, rent benefits, water benefits, current benefits, from
Karnataka and from Kannadigas- In return what have they given back?

A Big Zero.The percentage of kannadigas working in these companies is only 20% – 40%.

Kannadigas - 20%
Out siders - 80%

You can imagines the state of Kannadigas who are working in such atmosphere.
There is lot of migrations to Karnataka from other States. Our neighboring State like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra does not have this problem. Why this problem is only for Karnataka?
If a company starts in Karnataka, the owner of that company will be somewhere in America or Australia. He will appoint a senior manager to look after the Affairs of the company. If he in a Bengali, he will step aside Kannadigas and select only Bengalis and if he is a Maratha he will select only Marathas.
Out siders are coming in to the State in illegal methods and cheating the kannadigas.

If this trend continue

• There won’t be any Kannadiga in Karnataka to elect our so called Kannada politicians. Even the next set of politicians will be from other States.
• If the Poets, Authors, Novelists, don’t come out and support Kannadigas at this moment, then in the near future, there won’t be any Kannadiga in Karnataka to read their works or Sahitya.
• If Kannada cinema and Kannada TV people don’t support Kannadigas at this moment, then in the near future, there won’t be any Kannadiga in Karnataka to see their cinemas and their TV programmes.

If this continues, without any doubt Karnataka will become a State of MIGRATED PEOPLE.
Now, some of the IT BT people are trying to make Bengaluru a Union Terriotery.
Now if the Kannadigas won’t getup from their sleep, Kanndigas Capital City go out of their hands.
How to stop this? What is the solution for this?
For all these problems the only answer is KANNADIGARA UDYOGA VEDIKE
