The project also envisages timely and systemic sponsoring of names to employers/ Government Departments.
Project Implementation :
** Employment exchange was brought under Local Area Network of the Administrator’s Secretariat.
** Data relating to about 15,000 registrants were updated, re-codified under National Classification of Occupation, 2004.
** A dedicated leased line was extended to Employment Exchange from the nearest NICNET node. Broadband facilities are limited in Kavaratti Island because of constraints of coordination and configuration between BSNL and ISRO.
Factors that inspired success :
** There was continues dialogue with people’s representatives at Dweep Panchayat and District Panchayat Levels. The proposal was duly discussed in public and through media where the youth took keen interest in facilitating its success.
** Designating eight Additional Employment Officers, users friendly Portal designed and developed by NIC specifically for these services and availability of reliable Internet access through the NIC VSAT were key factors for the success. Opening of eight “Virtual Employment Exchanges” in other islands and capacity building programmes to train the officials in remote islands played important role.
** The highly literate Lakshadweep youth and notably the young women who were trained recently on computer literacy played a vital role in data entry and updation of information.
Benefits Accrued :
** Long chaotic queues in front of the employment exchange have become a thing of the past.
** The process of registration and sponsoring of names for employment has become transparent and free from human manipulations.
** Dispersed islands have virtually been integrated and eight ‘Virtual Employment Exchanges’ have started functioning with the existing manpower and infrastructure.
** Need for physical travel by the user to Kavaratti for registration, renewal and for adding qualifications etc, are now not required resulting in savings of money and time.
Learning’s from the Project :
** The use of right technology in the right place with appropriate administrative reforms can benefit the masses at base of the pyramid of the society.
** The web based services are most suited for hinterlands like Lakshadweep and other geographically isolated territories.
** Internet facilities bring mobility among youth to any part of the world removing physical constraints and sluggishness.
