New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI) Established after the Second World War in 1945 with the main objective of resettling soldiers returning from the war, the Delhi's Employment Exchange (DDE) today suffers from an identity crisis and is facing an uphill task ahead to survive in a market driven by competition by private job sites.
One of the biggest exchanges in the country, the DDE has a network of nine district exchanges and five zonal offices all of them falling under Delhi Government's Directorate of Employment, which handles the network and works with a total staff of 250.
The success rate of exchange, however, is almost next to nothing, a lowly 0.5 per cent, which is less than the national average, says K C Aggarwal, Joint Director, DDE.
On the contrary, a leading online job website, Timesjobs.Com, claims they have a database of 6.5 million job seekers and the success rate of giving placement in a month is 10-15 per cent. "More than 20,000 recruiters visit our resume pool daily to choose the best suitable candidate," says Rajat Gandhi, head of marketing, Timesjobs.Com.
To track Employment Exchange in Delhi is itself a full time job! Even those who live in the vicinity are not aware of its existence. 'Rozgar Karyalaya' for them sounds more familiar. At the Pusa Road Exchange, youth and a few school children taking vocational classes are found seeking to try their luck. There are no queues and no huddles of people and officials are surprisingly overenthusiastic to help and provide counseling to aspirants. PTI
