Employment Information Centres in Villages

Employment Market Information (EMI) Programme provides information on quarterly basis in public and private sectors including urban areas to monitor changes in the levels of employment. The data collected under EMI programmes covers only the organized sector of the economy which inter-alia covers all establishments in the public sector irrespective of their size and non agricultural establishments in the private sector employing 10 or more persons while the information from non-agricultural establishments in the private sector employing 25 or more persons is collected under the provisions of Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act, 1959. Data from the establishments employing 10-24 persons are collected on a voluntary basis.

The Employment Exchanges prepare Area Employment Market Reviews to indicate employment situation in the organized sector within the District. State Directors of Employment also prepare State Level Employment Reviews showing employment situation prevailing at the state level.

Ministry of Labour & Employment has not urged the State Governments to set up Employment Information Centres in every village. However, common service centers have been set up in the rural areas by Department of Information Technology which can be used as outreach centres for Employment Exchanges for online registration by job seekers.

The Employment Exchanges are already performing this activity of collecting data on vacancies or establishments under the provisions of Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act, 1959.

This information was given by the Minister of Labour and Employment Shri Mallikarjun Kharge in reply in reply to a written question in the Lok Sabha today.
