Jharkhand govt launches job portal to ensure 75% local quota in pvt sector
The government said a provision has also been made to set up a committee headed by the Principal Secretary, Labour, Employment, Training and Skill Development Department to monitor compliance of the Act/Rules.
“Although there is a provision of punishment under the Act... local companies and employers are expected to voluntarily comply with it and provide employment opportunities to local youth/women,” said a press release issued by the CM Secretariat quoting Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
Moving closer towards its promise to ensure 75 per cent employment to local candidates in the state’s private sector, the Jharkhand government on Friday launched ‘Jharniyojan’ portal where all private establishments have to register themselves.
The government said the portal will act as a platform for the employers to share businesses and manpower-related information and for the candidates looking for jobs. The employers who make use of the portal will have to adhere to the ‘Jharkhand State Employment of Local Candidates in Private Sector Act, 2021’.
“Although there is a provision of punishment under the Act… local companies and employers are expected to voluntarily comply with it and provide employment opportunities to local youth/women,” said a press release issued by the CM Secretariat quoting Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
