What is the historical development of the Department of Employment Service? :
(a) The Employment Service was started as a resettlement agency for the demobilized service personnel and discharged war workers under the Directorate General of Resettlement & Employment (DGR&E), Government of India in July 1945 and Employment Exchanges were gradually opened in several parts of the country.
(b) In 1947, consequent upon the partition of the country, the Employment Exchanges were called upon to deal with the resettlement of a large number of persons who were displaced as a result of partition. As a result, Employment Exchanges were thrown open to all categories of applicants by early 1948. Thus a resettlement agency was transformed as an all India placement agency.
(c) Based on the recommendations of the Training and Employment Services Organization Committee’, the day-to-day administration of the organization was handed over to the State Governments with effect from 1st November 1956.
(d) The Employment Service is now the joint concern of the Central and State Governments. The administrative control of the department is by the State Government. To ensure the uniformity in the functioning of the Employment Exchanges all over India, the policies and procedure to be adopted in the functional activities of the Employment Exchanges are prescribed at the national level by the Director General of Employment & Training, New Delhi. And the department is called-National Employment Service (Kerala)’ in this state.
