Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the government is converting 44 labour laws into four simplified codes.
In his address to the nation on the occasion of the 69th Independence
Day, Mr. Modi said Rs 27,000 crore is lying as unclaimed amount in the
Employees Provident Fund (EPF), which will be utilised for the welfare
of the workers.
“Laws should be clear and precise.
It is only then that the society progresses. There are 44 different
types of labour laws in the country, which confuses the labourers on
where to look for.
“We have brought a change in
them. We are converting 44 labour laws into 4 simplified codes, which
will be easy to follow for the poor as well as the illiterate labourers
to follow,” he added.
The codes will relate to industrial relations, wages, social security and safety.
“We are making special identity cards for labourers in the unorganised
sector so that where ever they go, whichever factory they work, we will
have their identity and details and we will utilise this Rs 27,000 crore
for their welfare,” Mr. Modi said.
