IT has provided the opportunities for governments to remodel the entire process of tax collection over the last decade. It is, however, a continuously evolving process and governments the world over need to constantly upgrade their tax systems to optimise their revenue workflows.

India’s central government is embarking on a project to list all information on job opportunities in government departments and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) on the web by connecting major employment exchanges across the country.

The computerisation process of major employment exchanges is on, and will be completed in the next three months,” Union Minister of Labour and Employment, Mallikarjun Kharge said. “Once this is done, all information about job opportunities and those listed in the exchange will be available on a website.”

The idea is that job seekers will be given access to all employment-related services through a single ‘national portal’. It will also enable real-time usage of online data submitted by employers for providing opportunities to job seekers.

The web portal would be a storehouse of information on the availability and requirements for skilled persons and would also network with industrial training institutes and other centres,” a senior Ministry official added.

Upgrading of the exchanges will be launched in two phases, covering Haryana, Rajasthan, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Assam in the first phase and the rest of the states in the second phase. The project is expected to be completed within 36 months from the time work begins.

National Institute for Smart Government (NISG), a non- profit making organisation, has been selected as a principal consultant for project.
