Kolkata, Apr 13 (KNN) The West Bengal Government is planning to add the names of the job seekers who have already got the jobs through the Employment Bank set up by the government in 2013.

With this, the state government wants to keep a tab on the number of people who have got the jobs through the Employment Bank.

The West Bengal Government had set up the Employment Bank three years ago. So far, 23 lakh people have entered their names in the programme, with details of their educational and technical qualifications.

A portal was developed by the State Labour Department for the Employment Bank, which became effective from July 2013.

Now the portal is being further developed, wherein those who have got jobs would have their names uploaded in another list, as well as the names of the organizations, both Government and private, in which they have got employment. This would enable the Department to keep a tab on the number of people who have got jobs through the Employment Bank.

According to the State Labour Minister, one lakh youth among the people enlisted in the Employment Bank are getting a monthly stipend of Rs 1,500 under the Yuvashree Scheme. They are also being provided job-related training.
