Employment Exchange (CNV) Act, 1959 should be repealed as it has lost its
relevance

NCS should function under a Policy framework which will have elaborate
provisions and mechanisms for functioning of Public and Private Placement
Agencies

The Policy will also have a robust grievance redressal mechanism to address
violations, misuse etc.
