The state government are giving incentives to private entities to provide more jobs to Goans. The private sector should give preference in jobs to locals. Already there is a scarcity of jobs in the state. Talented individuals are hired only at a handful government offices only. It's the private sector which hires talented people from across the country, based on merit and the lack of reservation makes it more attractive because their merit is valued. But with reservation being introduced, many incompetent, undeserving people will get the jobs while talented individuals will either shift to other states or leave the country, thereby contributing more to brain drain. Ability or merit must be the main consideration, but the private sector also needs to consider the well-being of Goan people when they take such a decision. Moreover there are many legal challenges. Court orders, including that of the Supreme Court, indicate that no government can force companies to hire people. Private companies hire people based on skills. No government can make local hiring mandatory, but it can incorporate a clause stating that priority must be given to locals.
