India's
Union Budget 2024-25: Key Highlights
Extract :
·
“The government will facilitate the provision
of a wide array of services to labour, including those for employment and
skilling. A comprehensive integration
of e-shram portal with other portals will facilitate such one-stop
solution.
·
Open architecture databases for the rapidly
changing labour market, skill requirements and available job roles, and a mechanism to connect
job-aspirants with potential employers and skill providers will be covered in these
services.

Context :
Govt
to form inter-ministerial core group on employment, integration of jobs data .. IE
.. 27 July 2024
Extract :
A core group
of officials drawn from multiple government departments and ministries will
work towards integrating efforts to deal with the imperative of employment
generation.
This would be
done by way of streamlining efforts and integration data sets, which are “currently existing in silos”, a statement
from the Ministry of Labour and Employment said on Friday.
Union Minister
for Labour and Employment Mansukh Mandaviya, who chaired an
inter-ministerial meeting on employment data on Friday, said there is a need to integrate multiple data sources on employment generation existing across various departments and ministries of the
government “to develop a system that captures a holistic picture of employment generation “
“There is a need
to create linkages among different employment data sources, assimilating
and integrating them to develop a system that captures a holistic picture of
employment generation in the country,” Mandaviya said.
He noted that the “employment data currently exist in silos” and various ministries and departments are implementing numerous
schemes and projects that lead to huge employment generation, but there is
no centralised database for employment.
Representatives
from industry bodies like the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce &
Industry (FICCI) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) also took part
in the meeting.
At present,
there are various datasets regarding employment from different ministries. The
Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) comes out with
Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), while payroll data is released by
Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO).
Background Data from e-Shram Portal ( as on 27 July 2024
) :
Ø Total
Number of persons registered ……………….. 29.84
crore
Ø Registered
yesterday ………………………………………… 44,559
Ø Occupation-wise
Registration :
# Agriculture ……………………….. 100991545
# Construction ……………………. 15828115
# Domestic …………………………. 8959372
# Misc …………………………………. 6845802
# Others ………………………………. 121268563
Ø Objectives
:
# Creation
of a centralized database of all unorganized workers
# To
improve the implementation efficiency of the social security services
# Sharing
of information in respect of registered unorganised workers
# Portability
of the social security and welfare benefits
# Providing
a comprehensive database
# It will have details of name, occupation, address, occupation type,
educational qualification,
their employability
My Take :
From the above-mentioned info
, it is clear that , as of today , e-shram portal is NOT a typical job-portal
On e-Shram portal , there
is no provision to connect Jobseekers with Employers . In this context ,
following statement in the budget assumes great significance :
“ …….. mechanism to connect
job-aspirants with potential employers “
This is precisely what I had proposed in my following 2 YEAR old email to Cabinet
Ministers :
Ø World’s
Biggest “ Resume Database “ ? ………………. 25 April 2022
Extract :
That close resemblance made me
suggest :
Ø e-Shram can provide jobs to Unorganized Workers ?
……… 26 Aug 2021
- where
I suggested as follows :
That REGISTRATION FORM ( on e-Shram portal )
is very similar to “ SUBMIT RESUME
“ forms on most job-portals
A few additional data-fields can make it IDENTICAL
That will enable us to “ migrate “ from
e-Shram portal, those 380 million
RESUMES ( Registrations ) to NCS
Like any other job-portal, NCS too, has following main features :
( A )….. For Jobseekers
# Submit
Resume ( ie ; Register )- with option to EDIT anytime
# Search
Jobs ( posted by registered Employers ) – then APPLY ONLINE
# On
their Mobiles, receive daily matching JOB-ALERTS – and apply
from mobile itself
# Some job-portals even allow jobseekers to BLAST their
RESUMES to
selected Employers
Usually,
most of these services are FREE for the
jobseekers
That
makes most jobseekers to “ Submit Resumes “ on several job- portals
( B )….. For Employers
# Submit
Company Details ( Register )
# Post
Jobs ( Vacancies )
# Search
( and download ) Resumes
By making available to Employers ( registered on NCS
), 380 million resumes ( of Unorganized Workers ), NCS could well become THE BIGGEST
JOB-PORTAL in entire world !
WHAT COULD THIS LEAD TO ?
Ø Number
of Employers and the number of Job-postings on NCS will go up by
millions . These will include thousands of Employer
Companies from abroad,
wanting to source manpower from India
Ø 65 million
MSME ( currently,
which cannot afford expensive monthly-quarterly
subscription of job-portals ), will register
on NCS , in the hope of
to deliver
their jobs ( vacancies ) to thousands
of workers, through JOB ALERTs
delivered on their mobiles – and receive applications
I am glad that
my suggestions are about to get implemented.
Dear Shri Bhupender Yadavji
{ Labour Minister ),
While thanking you for implementing my suggestion
I urge you to consider implementation of my many other
suggestions listed in the
following emails sent earlier
Please
consider :
Somewhere
there is a SUITABLE JOB for
each and every jobseeker and
somewhere
there is a SUITABLE CANDIDATE for
each and every vacancy
Problem
revolves around “ Lack
of Information “
Even for
educated candidates, it is a herculean task to “ search / find / apply
online “ , for
those SUITABLE JOBS from among MILLIONS existing but
unpublicized (
not listed on job portals ). 65
Million MSMEs do not post their
vacancies on NCS /
Naukri / MonsterIndia / TimesJobs / Clickjobs etc
And it would
be unreasonable to expect 28 Crore jobseekers to “ SUBMIT RESUME
“ on ( say ) 100 job portals !
Please
consider my proposal at :
Ø Birth of a David ? ……………………………..[ 27 Oct

Further Take :
My above-mentioned suggestion only covers the question of a “ mechanism to
connect
job-aspirants with potential employers “
That leaves out what
Shri Mandaviyaji wants , viz :
Ø “ …
need to integrate multiple data sources on employment
generation “
Ø “ .. holistic picture of employment generation “
Ø “…. there is no centralised database for employment “
Dear Shri
Mandaviyaji :
To meet your above-mentioned objectives , I urge you to
