Gujarat is top in Job placement in the country in 2015... Read more click blow link
While Gujarat comes on top in terms of providing placement through
exchanges, it isn’t the top state when it comes to the number of
job-seekers. That’s Tamil Nadu with more than 80 lakh registrations with
employment exchanges in first nine months of 2015, as against Gujarat
which had only 6.88 lakh registrations.
Tamil Nadu was followed by West Bengal, UP, Kerala and Maharashtra, when
states are stacked in terms the number of applicants. These five states
accounted for 60 per cent (2.71 crore) registrations with the
employment exchanges in 2015. However, these five states only accounted
for 27,600 placements, which is only 0.1 per cent of the total
registrations.
Data shows that the number of job-seekers across the country has been on
a rise. While registrations with exchanges across the country stood at
4.47 crore in 2012 and 4.82 crore in 2014, the number of registrations
at employment exchanges in the first nine months of 2015 stood at 4.48
crore. If the nine months’ figures for 2015 are annualised, the numbers
would rise to 5.98 crore for the full year.
Data also shows the grim situation of job creation in the country as
placements are not keeping pace with rise in number of job seekers and
there has been a decline in the placements in percentage terms. If the
placement percentage (out of the total job seekers across the country)
stood at 0.95 per cent in 2012, it fell to 0.74 per cent and 0.7 per
cent in 2013 and 2014 respectively. For the first nine months of 2015
the placement percentage dropped to 0.57 per cent.
The employment exchanges in Gujarat continued to be exceptional
performers and they accounted for 83.3 per cent or 2.11 lakh placements
out of the total 2.53 lakh placements from exchanges across the country
in the first nine months of 2015. In absolute terms, Maharashtra comes
second with 13,400 placements in 2015.
NCS which was earlier known as National Employment Service, has been put
on a mission mode project to provide services like registration of
job-seekers and employers, job matching, career counseling and
vocational guidance. The NCS project was enhanced in 2016-17 to include a
component for providing part funds for improving the infrastructure in
employment exchanges and for organising job fairs.
As per latest data, a total of 997 employment exchanges have been
functioning across states and Union Territories in the country. Uttar
Pradesh topped the list of states with 99 employment exchanges, followed
by Kerala (89 employment exchanges), West Bengal (77), Haryana (59),
Assam (52), Madhya Pradesh (49), Gujarat (48) Punjab (47), Chhattisgarh
(47) and Maharashtra (47). Smaller state Goa and UTs Andaman &
Nicobar, Dadar & Nagar Haveli, Lakshadweep and Puducherry has one
employment exchange each. Sikkim is the only state not having any
employment exchange.
