Measures for unorganised sector
Our Bureau
New Delhi, Dec. 21
The Government is working on modalities to provide relief to a large number of workers in the unorganised sector through legislative measures.
Speaking at the 41st Meeting of the Standing Labour Committee here on Wednesday, the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Labour & Employment, Mr Oscar Fernandes, said that extension of various schemes such as Janshree Bima Yojna, Krishi Shramik Samajik Suraksha Yojana is also being worked out. He urged the social partners to extend support to these efforts to fulfil the long-standing commitment towards the so far neglected workforce.
Reiterating the Government's commitment to the welfare of workers in a growing economy, Mr Fernandes said, "We need to adopt a multi-pronged approach, which includes development of our human resources, modernisation of our vocational training institutions, revamping of our national employment services, promoting public-private partnership in HRD, facilities for retraining and re-skilling of workforce, and financial support to enable the workers to avail these opportunities." He asked the tripartite partners to pay attention to these important issues and evolve a system that encourages lifelong learning.
