Detailed Description

This project is an attempt to study the means and methods that various people like carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and maids (all the people in low-income groups) follow to find work and to study their problems related to employment and faced while finding employment opportunities. The aim of the project is to design a system or to find a solution to help all the people in the low-income group find employment opportunities. There are not many means available for people in low-income groups to find employment. My contribution to solving this problem is by designing a system called ‘Kalpataru’. People in low-income groups register with the system, and they get updates regarding employment opportunities related to their preferred profession from the specified area through a mobile application and an IVR system, which are the services provided by this system. This solution caters to both the employers and the employees by helping employees in finding employment and by helping employers in finding employees through an automated system.
