The Ministry of Labour & Employment and Rapido signed a Memorandum of Understanding (Mou) in New Delhi, marking a significant step toward strengthening employment linkages in the logistics sector through the National Career Service (NCS) portal.

  "This agreement will make around 50 lakh jobs available on the NCS portal in the coming one and a half years, benefiting more than five crore job seekers registered on the NCS portal," the Union Minister said in a post on microblogging site X.

Union Minister of Labour and Employment, Mansukh Mandaviya says, “The National Career Service portal is a dynamic platform bringing job seekers and employers together, across India. With over 1.75 crore active job seekers and over 40 lakh registered employers, it is playing a crucial role in workforce mobilization. NCS is getting strengthened day by day. It is integrated with My Bharat, eShram, SIDH, MEA-eMigarte portal, along with many other private portals.”

Mansukh welcomed the collaboration and appreciated Rapido's initiative to create 50 lakh livelihood opportunities on the NCS Platform over the next 1-2 years.

Highlighting the platform's accessibility and reach, the Union Minister reiterated the government's vision of making NCS a one-stop solution for employment, skilling, and counselling, while also being capable of hyperlocal job matching and supporting both domestic and international placements.
