House panel wants overhaul of Bill on employment exchanges
A Parliamentary panel has recommended withdrawal of a Bill from Parliament which seeks to revamp employment exchanges, describing it “haphazardly” prepared and failing to offer any direction to make recruitment policies transparent. It has strongly suggested that the Labour and Employment Ministry should bring a comprehensive Bill instead to fulfill the role of such exchanges as only four lakh candidates get placement every year out of four crore registered through 956 employment exchanges.
