Rozgar Samachar – Online Jobs Portal
Rojgar Samachar or Employment News is a newspaper, exclusively brought out for the benefit of millions of unemployed educated youth, residing even in the nook and corner of the country. This concept has been brought out into reality by the late Prime Minister of India, Smt. Indira Gandhi during the year 1976 to cater to the employment information needs of the educated unemployed youth. Its monthly circulation exceeds a staggering 16 lakh copies. It is available in newspaper vending shops throughout the country. One can subscribe to it and get it by post or purchase from the shops in their areas. The demand for Rojgar Samachar is such that at peak times, when a good number of posts are notified, the copies become scarce and there were some occasions, where the candidates could not get them. Earlier to the publication of Rojgar Samachar, each department of the Government or the UPSC and other recruiting agencies used to give notifications in the new papers for filling up the vacant posts and candidates had to be alert to check up each of the newspapers in English and in their respective regional languages. It was an arduous and time consuming affair for them to keep a keen eye on the newspapers, lest they may miss a rare opportunity to seek a Government job of their choice. Still earlier even before the stage of publication of vacancies in the News Papers, Employment Exchanges used to play a greater role in sponsoring candidates to the organisations/ departments/ institutions for recruitment in their respective jurisdictions. The problem faced by the Candidates was that they do not have the choice of the job and sponsoring was done by the Employment Exchanges purely on seniority and candidates have to physically cling to the corridors of the Employment Exchanges, in some cases, even for days together. It used to be more difficult to people in the remote inaccessible areas of the country. Publication of Rozgar Samachar or Employment News is a boon to the unemployed youth in view of its availability even in petty shops throughout the country. Further, with the advancement in the area of information technology, it is made available on the web in the Rozgar Samachar’s official website (http://rojgarsamachar.gov.in/) and also in the websites of a number of organisations/ institutions in the training and coaching business, giving therein extensive information about the jobs to be filled up and with advertisements relating to the books and related materials, necessary advices and tips for preparation for the tests and for attracting them to the coaching camps.

Rozgar Samachar is, in brief, a document reverentially possessed by thousands of educated unemployed youth in the country and thanks to the Government of India for getting such an idea in publication of Rozgar Samachar/ Employments News some decades back to give full information to the eagerly awaiting youth for Government jobs.
