New Labour Codes Aim to Strengthen Worker Self-Reliance, Says Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav says new labour codes introduced under PM Narendra Modi aim to make workers self-reliant by ensuring financial security, social protection and improved employment-related benefits across sectors.
Speaking in Bhopal, Yadav said the labour reforms introduced under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi are designed to make workers more self-reliant by extending a range of structured benefits. He emphasised that the updated legal framework seeks to modernise labour governance while responding to the evolving needs of India’s workforce.
According to the Chief Minister, the new labour laws focus on ensuring greater financial stability for workers by formalising protections related to wages, employment conditions and workplace benefits. He noted that social security measures form a central pillar of the reforms, with provisions aimed at safeguarding workers against economic uncertainty and supporting them across different stages of employment.
Yadav further highlighted that the reforms also address employment-related facilities, with an emphasis on streamlining systems that connect workers to benefits and protections more efficiently. He said the overarching objective of the government is to empower labourers, strengthen their sense of security and create conditions that allow for an improved quality of life.
The Chief Minister reiterated that the labour codes reflect a broader policy vision of inclusive growth, where economic reforms are aligned with social protection. By strengthening the legal framework governing labour, the government aims to balance industrial development with the welfare and dignity of workers, he said.
The remarks come amid ongoing efforts by state and central authorities to implement labour reforms across sectors, a move officials say is intended to create a more resilient and equitable workforce while supporting India’s long-term economic growth.
