A job portal will be launched soon by the Delhi government to make job opportunities available to those who have lost employment during the lockdown. The labor minister in the Delhi government, Gopal Rai, made the announcement.
He said that the platform will be a common platform for companies who are job seekers and looking to hire.
The Delhi government will soon come up with a slew of reforms for the revival of the economy of the national capital. The economy has been affected adversely due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown.
Gopal Rai added that many migrant workers have moved out of Delhi and many people have lost their jobs because of the lockdown.
The Minister said that they have managed to arrest the spread of COVID-19 in Delhi. Now, the need of the hour is to bring the economy of the city back on track.
A similar portal has been launched by the Maharashtra government. On July 6 Uddhav Thackeray launched the Mahajobs. The portal aims at making employment opportunities and local manpower available to workers and companies, respectively.
The portal will also be helpful in the recruitment of semi-skilled, skilled, and unskilled employees.
The portal has been created to meet the manpower needs of the companies which have been facing the challenge of skill gap, according to the description available on the portal.
