Moderisation of Employment Exchanges

National e-Governance Plan has identified modernization and upgradation of Employment Exchanges as one of the Mission Mode Projects (MMP). Implementation of this Project will help job-seekers to register on-line from anywhere and approach any Employment Exchange for employment assistance. Under the Project, a national web portal with common software is proposed to be developed. This will contain all the data regarding availability of skilled persons on the one hand and requirements of skilled persons by the industry on the other. It will help youth get placed and enable industry to procure required skills on real time basis. The project will be implemented all over the country.







National Institute for Smart Government (NISG), the Principal Consultant has submitted the Detailed Project Report (DPR) which covers the Public-Private-Partnership details. The proposed PPP aims to act as a service support to the existing Employment Exchanges for providing the following services, wherever required:





i. Registration Services



ii. Employment Market Information (EMI)



iii. Vocational Guidance & Counseling / Talent Assessment Services



iv. Placement Services.





Since the Employment Exchanges in the country function under the administrative control of the State Government / UT Administrations, the regulation and co-ordination of the activities of the private placement agencies has to be decided by them as per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Labour & Employment.



This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Labour & Employment Shri Harish Rawat in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
