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.

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

      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
