New Delhi: Monster.com and ITC Ltd have together announced the launch of a Web site for the rural job market called Rozgarduniya.com.
The Web site would be made available to rural job-seekers through e-choupal, the Internet-enabled rural initiative of ITC. It would also provide a gateway to the industry to tap the huge rural workforce. It will be first launched in Hindi and English and then in other languages.
"Rural India has a huge untapped talent pool and Rozgarduniya.com will provide a platform to bridge the demand and supply gap," said Sanjay Modi, Managing Director, Monster.com.
Extensive research
According to the company, the Web site would initially cover Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, and then extended to five more based on job offers by companies. He added that Monster.com had been doing extensive research on this platform for the past one year in order to develop a customised solution for rural India.
"We will be targeting jobs in security agencies, highway construction, courier companies and rural retailing," said Modi. He added that initially the company would be looking at graduates and high school pass-outs.
Monster.com would train the Sanchalaks at ITC's e-choupal kiosks to help the youth submit resumes online. "The sanchalaks would be the mid-point in our strategy as they understand the villagers very well," said Modi.
