Employment to senior citizens of the country

New Delhi: There is good news for the country’s senior citizens. In fact, the government is planning to open an employment exchange for senior citizens, through which they will be offered jobs. The exchange will start on Friday, October 1.

The government has also set up a helpline for senior citizens. Senior citizens will be able to find employment for themselves by registering in this exchange. This is the first such scheme in the country. A portal is also being launched for this.

Therefore, people above the age of 60 who want to work can register by visiting the portal launched on October 1 under the auspices of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. On this portal, senior citizens will fill in information about their education, experience, skills, interests, etc.

However, the ministry has also clarified that the exchange does not guarantee employment. It is up to the companies to decide whether to hire a senior or not.
