NCS: A Single-Window System For Job Seekers.
On Monday, in the presence of Union Labour Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya and Union Labour Minister of State Sushri Sobha Karandlaje, the MoU was signed. It’s happening because of the Ministry’s efforts, who wants to fill the gap between supply and demand in the labour market.

“Many more institutions are lined up to sign similar MoUs. I believe the NCS portal will become the premier platform not only in India but globally, helping employers fulfil their workforce needs while offering dignified employment to millions, “Mandaviya said.
“This partnership with Swiggy will further extend the portal’s reach into the fast-growing gig and platform economy, enabling access to flexible and location-based opportunities for millions of youth, “He added.
