Speaking to presspersons after the Cabinet meeting here yesterday, Industries Minister Jagadish Shettar said that as per the policy, all new investment projects shall create direct employment opportunities, with a minimum job reservation of 70 percent for Kannadigas on an overall basis and 100 percent in case of Group-D employees.
