Speaking exclusively to CNBC-TV18’s Shereen Bhan, Dawra said, ‘Our ministry is a tripartite ministry; we work very closely with the labour unions and also with the employers.’
Sumita Dawra, Secretary of the Ministry of Labour & Employment, on Thursday (August 1) said the Narendra Modi government is actively engaging with states, labour unions, and companies to harmonise the implementation of the new labour codes across the country.
Highlighting the broader objectives, she noted, “There are a lot of aspects, the major aspects are about labour welfare and ease of doing business.”
Dawra acknowledged the legislative progress, adding, “The Parliament has, of course, passed the labour codes. As you are aware, the labour codes require the pre-publication of the rules, which has been completed by the Government of India and most of the states.”
Dawra described the collaborative nature of the ministry’s work, saying, “Our ministry is a tripartite ministry; we work very closely with the labour unions and also with the employers.”
Emphasising the ministry’s commitment to a collaborative approach, Dawra explained, “These conversations have intensified with the labour unions and employers, and the idea is to be more consultative and move forward together.”
Despite the challenges, she underscored the government’s dedication to ensuring the successful implementation of the labour codes, balancing the interests of all stakeholders involved.
