JharkhandStateNews.com,a utility portal committed to the cause of bridging digital divide

JharkhandStateNews.com is first of its kind utility portal committed to the cause of bridging digital divide and dissiminating information connected with category II,III and IV jobs meant for the rural unemployed youth in Jharkhand,a Maoist infested State in India.

In this state,the government was engaged in building roads and houses and had taken many welfare schemes to wean away the youth from joining the rank and file of the Left Wing Extremists.There were also schemes such as Mahatama Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act for the people.

Hundreds of these rural youths who did graduation,post graduation and had acquired skill through technical institutions such as Polytechnic,returned home without getting jobs.Since their homes were located in remote areas,the local news papers and TV channels were not accessible to a majority of them.

As a result,despite being skilled and educated,they remained unemployed.Many of them either picked up guns or were potential Left Extremists.Many of them were also compelled to fend for themselves in absence of a medium to make them aware of the employment news needed by them.

The portal,launched on August 27,2012,founded and edited by Manoj Prasad,ex columnist of the Indian Express,India's most trusted English newspaper,scans local dailies,pieces together job related information and loads them under its heading- Jobs –by incorporating details such as Date,Employer,Post,Minimum Qualification,Salary(in Rupee),Contact and Last Date for filing application on a daily basis.

In addition,portal updates information related with tenders and bids floated by diferent departments and companies on a daily basis with an aim to cater to the needs of the educated unemployed youth in search of opportunities,apart from providing value added news related with local,regional,national and international significance in fields of Politics,Sports,Knowledge and Entertainment.

The portal can be viewed on cell phone.
