Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 'Pt Deendayal Upadhyay Shramev Jayate Karyakram' organised by the Labour Ministry which will feature a day-long conference of labour, employment, health and vocational training ministers of the various state governments.
A host of schemes was launched by Modi which are aimed at ending inspector raj and streamlining labour laws.
Labour Ministry officials said that the initiatives launched are a Unified Labour Portal or 'Shram Suvidha', a transparent and accountable Labour Inspection Scheme, and portability through Universal Account Number (UAN) for Employees' Provident Fund members. Also flagged off is an Apprentice Protsahan Yojana.
The revamped Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) for workers in the unorganised sector was also launched on the occasion
About 1,800 labour inspectors across the country will get text messages from the Prime Minister apprising them of the new rules, which also addresses the issue of wages and pensions for workers.
The labour ministry's nine-page concept note says one of the two key areas of the reforms will be "Shram Suvidha" - a unified labour and industrial portal, where all data will be stored.
The other will be the "Labour Inspection Scheme," which aims at ending arbitrariness in the inspection mechanism.
