New Delhi, Jun 10 : A group of three people has started an employment exchange website that helps people who have lost jobs during the pandemic novel coronavirus.
The initiative — JanSahay.in — by Anand Siva, Vinay Hinge and Radhika Malik aims to connect people looking for a source of income with those who have work opportunities.
“Simply put, this as an employment exchange – of those in need of help coming face to face with those eager to help,” said Siva.
According to ILOSTAT, a global reference for international labour statistics, India’s unemployment rate spiked to 7.11 per cent in 2020 from 5.27 per cent in 2019. According to Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), India would be looking at double-digit unemployment rate in May this year.
The trio avers they started this website to tackle this human crisis on priority. They say that the initiative focuses on small businesses which hire people on project or commission, short term contracts or sales commission assignments. At the same time, large businesses that need people for short projects without legal complications too are part of the ambit.(UNI)
