Addressing a two-day national conference with labour ministers and secretaries of all states, Mandaviya underscored that a fine balance between workers’ welfare and industrial growth must remain at the core of all policy decisions, the ministry said in a statement issued at the end of the first day of the meeting.
According to the statement, the two-day conference is focusing on laying the groundwork for labour reforms, social security for organized and unorganized workers including gig and platform workers and expanding Employees’ Social Insurance Corporation (ESIC) medical and healthcare services.
“There is equal focus on interventions for matching demand and supply in the labour market, promoting employment generation and employability through national career service (NCS) portal and model career centres (MCC),” it added.
On labour reforms, it was noted that over 18 states and UTs have already implemented the majority of the reforms and more than 32 states and UTs have pre-published the draft rules under the four Labour Codes, while the remaining states and UTs have made satisfactory progress, during the year.
