New delhi date. 24 August 2020, Monday

The portal, which was launched by the government 40 days ago to provide employment, has so far registered an estimated 4 million people for employment, out of which only 200 have been provided employment.

The Centre's Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has launched an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based self-employed Skilled Employee-Employer Mapping Portal on July 10.

Out of the total registrations, offers were sent to 1.5 lakh people but in reality the number of recipients was only 300. The portal was launched with the aim of bridging the gap between supply and demand of skilled workforce by creating a source of information, government sources said.

The majority of those registering for employment are tailors, electricians, sewing machine operators, courier delivery executives.

According to the information provided in the portal, there is a widespread shortage of workers in states like Haryana, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka.

418 companies have registered on the portal and 8 of these companies have posted 4.5 lakh jobs. Out of this post, 1.5 lakh jobs were offered but the number of employees recruited is only 300.

Many people have lost their jobs due to the serious impact of coronavirus on trade and industry in the country. In view of this fact, the government is making efforts to provide employment so as to boost the economy, the sources added.
