India Inc today agreed to follow the principle of 'positive discrimination' in employing scheduled caste and scheduled tribe candidates in their companies. Other things being equal, SC/ST candidtaes will be given preference in employment, an approach that industry representatives say, should result in sizeable increase in employment of these persons in the organized sector.
