ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

(a) to (f): Job fair is one of the steps towards fulfillment of the commitment of the Government  to accord highest priority to employment  generation amongst youth.

Regular job fairs are being organized under various schemes by State Governments/ Ministries/ Departments etc.

Government is implementing the National Career Service (NCS) Project to  provide  a  variety  of  career  related  services  like  job  matching,  career counselling, vocational guidance, information on skill development courses, etc.  Under  the  NCS  project,  assistance  is  provided  to  States/UTs  for organising job fairs with the mandate of increasing the job fairs in all states including  the  tier  two  and  tier  three  cities.      The  NCS  Project  has  a component  of  setting  up  of  Model  Career  Centres  (MCCs)  in  collaboration with States/Institutions to provide career related services including organising  job  fair,  using  technology  at  the  district  level.  As  of  now,  the Government has approved more than 370 Model Career Centres. Regular job fairs are being organised at MCCs. The criteria and the process of selection of candidate in the job fair varies from employer to employer.

NCS Portal (www.ncs.gov.in) has a module for organising virtual/online job  fairs  through  MCCs  to  address  the  infrastructural  constraints  faced  in rural and remote areas.

The  details  of  job  fairs  conducted  under  NCS  in  the  last  five  years, including the State of Uttar Pradesh is at Annexure I.

As  per  the  information  received  from  the  State  Government  of  Uttar Pradesh, the details of the district wise job fairs conducted during 2020-21 and 2021-22 is at Annexure II.

Apart  from  this,  Rozgar  mela  events  are  being  organised  across  the country by the Government and so far, about 1.47 lakh new appointees have been inducted by various Central Government Ministries/ departments/ PSUs/ autonomous bodies and banks etc.
