The concept of developing a tie-up between DoP and Ministry of
Labour and Employment (MoLE) to leverage rural Post Offices as an Employment
Registration Centre has been initiated by DoP as a follow up to the
recommendations of the Group of Secretaries, appointed by the Hon’ble Prime
Minister to explore innovative ideas for transformative change in various areas
of governance.
2. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between
DoP and Ministry of Labour and Employment (MoLE) to leverage Post Offices as
Employment Registration Centres. The project has been scheduled to be launched
on 12-02-2017 at Hyderabad by the Hon’ble Minister for Labour and Employment.
3. The project envisages enabling post offices to function as an
Employment Registration Centre for unemployed rural youth through National
Career Service (NCS) portal, which facilitates registration / updation of job
seekers, job providers, skill providers, career counsellors, etc. The portal
provides job matching services in a highly transparent and user friendly
manner.
4. The tie-up is expected to bridge the gulf between the net
connected urban areas and non connected rural areas, helping the youth to avail
facility to register for employment at their doorstep hassle free. It will also
provide access to the unemployed youth to a rich repository of career content
over 3000 of occupations across 52 sectors kept by the NCS data base.
5. The project will also create a nation-wide online platform
for jobseekers and employers for job matching in a dynamic, efficient and
responsive manner. The post offices would be charging nominal charges for the
services as below:
New Job Registration : Rs. 15/-
Updation of Job seeker Profile : Rs. 5/-
Printout of Application Form, if Any : Rs. 10/-
Updation of Job seeker Profile : Rs. 5/-
Printout of Application Form, if Any : Rs. 10/-
6. It would be great opportunity and convenience to the
unemployed youth of the county and a win-win situation to both the DoP and MoLE
. The tie-up will also help the post offices in increasing its footfall,
visibility and pave way to bring back the post offices to the mainstream
offering relevant services to the citizen.
