e-choupal to double as job portal
ITC, famous among the rural folks in India for its e-choupal initiative has paired up with Monster India, a known job portal to launch rozgarduniya.com to help the rural youth to find job opportunities. The portal is available in both Hindi and English. As reported by Livemint,
Every application will be routed through an e-Choupal Sanchalak, the farmer who mans the kiosk, and thus only a rural job seeker will be able to use the service. The employer can be based out of any location.
This is not the first time that web technology that has served the urban India find job is used for helping the the rural masses earn a living. Readers may recall that ThinkChange-India has reported about another job portal for rural youth called ruralnaukri.com.

Hi,
I really appreciate the effort in creating this kind of website. But tell me how far the rural people understands the usage of web? How are they planned to campaign about this in the rural areas ?
In my opnion the best time to pass on such kind of valuable informations to rural mass will be during religion festival period and also while campaigning for election unfortunately the second one atleast happens only once in 3 years period.
I hope the effort should continue not only creating these kinds of sites, but also reach them in appropriate way to utilize the same.
salaam,
it’s really a fantastic idea.
i wish you good luck for your projects……
