Overview
- The chief minister told the Vidhan Sabha that the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam has ended the role of contractors and middlemen and has moved deployment to a structured, rule‑based online system.
- Government figures show 28,350 people have been deployed through HKRN and that Scheduled Castes make up 23.94 percent while Other Backward Classes make up 28.67 percent of those hires.
- The Congress, backed by 17 MLAs, argues HKRN is being used to substitute regular recruitment, accuses the state of sidelining the Haryana Staff Selection Commission and Haryana Public Service Commission, and demands regularisation of HKRN recruits.
- Haryana insists HKRN is temporary and that its policy requires HKRN employees to vacate posts once regular appointments are made, while also saying the new system prevents contractor wage deductions and posts selection rules online for transparency.
- The dispute reflects a longer history of contractor-based hiring in the state that expanded over decades and remains unresolved politically and administratively with protests and no announced policy reversal.
