Description
The forty four centre laws in the Indian Labour Law would be amalgamated into four main 'Labour Codes' soon, Shankar Agarwal, Secretary, labour and employment, Government of India announced on Saturday. He was speaking at the 123 {+r} {+d} United Planters' Association of Southern India (UPASI) annual conference in Ooty. Speaking about the labour rules, Agarwal said, "They are volatile in India as the laws are undergoing various changes since 1921. However, the main laws are out of sync. In an effort to simplify the laws, the 44 laws have been amalgamated into four main labour codes."According to him, two main labour codes have been finalised and sent to the cabinet for sanction. Code on wages, code on industrial relations, code on working condition and code on social security will be the four main labour codes. Meanwhile, the Plantation Labour Act will be soon amended in the interest of the plantation workers. Also, the labour ministry has proposals to open around 3,000 more Employees' State Insurance (ESI) dispensaries across the country, Agarwal informed. President of UPASI, N Dharmaraj, who also spoke at the event said, "The support of the government is being sought in the export of tea along with value addition and boost in price." He also said that the country's plantation sector is the major employer after Indian Railways.
