Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced plans to fill vacancies in various government departments. This process, delayed due to internal reservation issues, aims to be executed in a phased manner, fulfilling the government's promise of securing employment opportunities.

Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar assured the public that the recruitment drive would be corruption-free, addressing youth concerns over vacant posts. Previous recruitment efforts were marred by scams, preventing effective filling of positions during the BJP's rule.

The government has laid out a roadmap, tasking the Karnataka Public Service Commission with filling positions, while introducing efforts like Yuvanidhi to support young graduates financially. Protests from the youth in Dharwad have underscored the urgency and necessity of a transparent recruitment process.
