India's official Modi gov't portal hits 10 million users registered

Over 10 million have signed up for the Modi's government's new job portal in search of employment opportunities. 

Responding to the requests, the government provided information on about 6.7 million vacancies. However, data on the jobs taken up by the registered unemployed is not available on the portal.

Minister of Labour and Employment Santosh Gangwar, in response to a question in the Lok Sabha, clarified earlier that the data of people getting jobs through the National Career Service (NCS) portal is not maintained. Rather, the portal has the data of registered vacancies and unemployed people.

The NCS portal was launched in 2015 by the Ministry of Labour and Employment to bring organisations looking for suitable candidates and the unemployed people on one platform.

On this portal, an unemployed person can create a profile with all necessary details while the companies can register to share job opportunities.

Since 2015, job creation has not been satisfactory compared with the number of job seekers.
