At a time when most of the youth in our country is facing a problem of employment which is scaled up with the recession, there is a initiative by the Government of India. The recent news states that the GOI is creating a web portal on the lines of Naukri and monster, but then there is some difference here, where the site would consist of comprehensive details about the skilled manpower requirements of industry and the available skilled manpower in the country and i guess the youth of the country will be benefitted with this.

With increase in competition between this proposed government portal and the private job search sites, it is the youth who would benefit with the most accurate and reliable information being provided. It would be great to see who would win the race, GOI or the private search portals, but, it is the youth who now have an advantage of utilizing this to the maximum advantage.

So what do you think guys will this job portal be successfull or not?

I am not really sure!!

The whole idea is really good. The govt recognising the need and all that is great... But a portal for jobs needs to be pushed into the rural sectors. And knowing the infrastructure deficiency in our system I have these doubts. I believe we have brilliant minds working overtime and this maybe the result of one such overworked mind.

Urban India is using the clicks for a lot of job portals which are generic and also specialised in verticals of interest for the seeker so our govt job site is not really going to be the MOST popular one or the most looged onto. Curiousity set apart, the point that viktor has raised is the one thats bothering us and it shoudl be looked into. Sahaj, ITC and I am sure others will also follow. When Retail is going to B towns it is naturally going to create more opportinities and the rural youth population would look at being employed and staying back in their own towns rather than migrating to the nearest bigger towns!! So it is essential for the govt to make sure that the infrastrucure is stable and allows use of technology and create awareness first of the development that we are and have undergone.

How much work would be accomplished because of lack of awareness of working knowledge of internet in rural India??  Good debate Gargi and thanks for the referral.

This is a very good step taken by Indian Government. Now, qualified young men who are not getting chance to perform will be getting new opportunities....

This job portal is an excellent idea, with all the skillsets shown, it can then guide a youngster to take a right step, understand the industry requirements, as we already know, graduates here are just graduates and not industry ready.

With this initiative Govt has come out with a winner, hope it takes off.

I agree Gargi that it is really a Good idea, but I am not sure regarding the Government data and how successful this would be.

I agree, Gargi, it's a good idea, but not so sure about the correctness of govt. data. SREI Sahaj has announced its mandate of establishing a total of 24780 kiosks in six states - West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh. These will cover 150,000 villages, and a population of over 21 crore.

During the quarter, Sahaj also launched a recruitment site for rural youth Chaakri.in. A business development team approaches rural job seekers while a recruitment team matches their skills with vacancies in various industries. Chaakri.in has vacancies for carpenters, plumbers, electricians, courier boys, drivers, security guards, masons and barbers. For rural women, the site offers posts such as village computer operators, data entry operators, beauticians, and healthcare assistants. Vocational coaching is also being offered by Sahaj.

Such initiatives including ITC's rural job portal with Monster should address the unemployment problems in rural India.

I think this job portal idea is good as the government will be knowing the numbers exactly like the number of unemployment and number of available jobs in the industry and what needs to be done..here there will be many categories than what other private portals like Naukri or Monster is having currently at the moment as there is very less opportunity for skilled labours across the country and with this kind of portal one can tap the best talent which is out there in the country and avail their benefits...
