New page on national job portal to facilitate entrepreneurs

The Labour Ministry today launched the 'Start Your Own Business' page on the National Career Services Portal as part of efforts to make it more easy for individuals to start their own ventures.
"Participation from the industry is essential to create a wide range of entrepreneurial opportunities for the unemployed youth of the country. This initiative aims to make it more convenient for an individual to start his own business," Labour Secretary Shankar Aggawal said at the launch.
"We welcome companies like Uber, who are revolutionising the way traditional employment works, by offering flexible and high earning opportunities on its platform. We look forward to make this a vibrant platform for entrepreneurs to share their success stories and motivate others in joining the entrepreneurial endeavours," he said.

The newly launched page provides information about entrepreneurship programmes, institutions and schemes run by government as well as links to private companies like Uber that are helping individual become an entrepreneur.
Uber was introduced as one of the first entrepreneurship partners on the page since it has already presented over 250,000 entrepreneurial opportunities for aspiring cab drivers in India, Labour Ministry said in a release.
Uber will also facilitate such partners in getting financial loans to purchase vehicles and start their business, it said.
