The Centre has asked its departments that all vacancies must be publicised countrywide through local employment exchanges and Employment News newspaper among others. The decision assumes significance as over two lakh posts are estimated to be created by the central government in its various departments by 2017.<br/><br/>The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said all vacancies to be filled on regular basis are to be notified in the local employment exchange or central employment exchange except those which fall within the purview of UPSC and SSC. In an order issued to all the Secretaries of the Central Government's Ministries, the DoPT said that an advertisement of vacancies may also be put at the National Career Service portal of Ministry of Labour and Employment.
