<p>The numbers of those who register their names in the office have come down considerably. A minimum of two to three persons register their names everyday. In this scenario, it is essential that the Employment Exchange get a face lift if at all it has to prove beneficial to the public.<br /><br />Speaking to Deccan Herald, in-charge Employment Officer R M Nayak said that the department exists only for statistical purpose. There is no binding on the part of government. It is an edict on papers. As of now, there is a severe shortage of staff too, he added.<br /><br />To make itself useful, the Employment Exchange is now taking up vocational training programmes and study circle works in different parts of the district. <br /><br />Besides, English speaking courses are organised in three colleges of each Taluk in the district. It has conducted training classes for candidates for airmen recruitment and for people appearing for various competitive exams. <br /><br />It sponsors candidates for private agencies. Some are sent on daily wages. Private organisations can approach the office if they are in need of recruits, Nayak added.<br /><br />The office has to submit numerical data once in two years to the Planning Commission of India on the employment status in the entire district. Presently, the government is taking up measures to give a new representation to Employment Exchange. The plans have been enforced in three districts of State. Gulburga, Bijapur and Mangalore Employment Exchanges have been renovated as Human Resource Development Centres under public private partnership. Udupi too may get an HRD centre by next year. <br /></p>
