Positions held
Sarojini Mahishi Report
The Ramakrishna Hegde government appointed her in 1983 to head the committee which recommended a certain percentage of jobs to Kannadigas in public sector undertakings, private companies and multinational companies. Pro Kannada lobby groups such as Karnataka Rakshana Vedike have been pressurising the implementation of Dr. Sarojini Mahishi Report in Karnataka
The committee headed by Dr.Mahishi consisted four retired I.A.S. officers and the members of the committee were Prof. Gopala Krishna Adiga, G.K.Satya, G.Narayana Kumar, MLA, K.Prabhakara Reddy, B.S.Hanuman, IAS (Rtd.) and Dr. Siddayya Puranik, IAS (Rtd.)
Salient features of the Report
The committee was constituted in 1983, submitted interim report on 13.6.1984 and final report on 30.12.1986 and it made 58 recommendations. Of these recommendations, Government of Karnataka accepted 45 recommendations for implementation. Some of the recommendations are: 100 per cent reservation for Kannadigas in all State Government establishments and Public Sector units. 100 percent reservation for Kannadigas in group 'c' and group 'd' jobs in Central Government departments and PSUs operating in Karnataka. A Minimum of 80 percent and 65 reservation for Kannadigas for Group 'b' and Group 'a' jobs respectively, in Central Government units and PSUs operating in Karnataka. All Personnel officers in all industrial units in the state should invariably be a Kannadiga. Industries should appoint local people on priority.
Consequences
The Sarojini Mahishi report has become a tool for local organisations to insist all jobs in Karnataka to locals and implementation of local language in the state. Government of Karnataka has established a separate department named "Kannada Abhivridhi Pradhikara" to oversee that the accepted recommendations of the report are implemented in Karnataka effectively.
