Koragas begin indefinite dharna for direct selection to government jobs, allocation of farmland

The Hindu  

Hundreds of Koragas who launched an indefinite dharna in front of the Udupi district office complex at Manipal on Monday, demanding among other things grant of farmland title deeds and direct recruitment to government jobs, continued the dharna on Tuesday. Though the community members of late were getting educated thanks to prohibition on the Ajalu practice and reservation, they were unable to compete among other communities under the Scheduled Tribes category while applying for government jobs, said Karnataka-Kerala Koraga Abhivruddhi Sanghagagala Okkoota president Susheela Nada. The government should therefore provide for direct recruitment for this tribal group, identified as a particularly vulnerable tribal group, ensuring employment to all qualified tribals, Ms. Nada demanded. Despite President Droupadi Murmu directing the State government to prepare a time-bound action plan to provide 100% employment guarantee for the tribes people a year ago, the government’s failure to adhere to the direction has pushed the community youth into despair, Ms. Nada said.
