Prime
Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the future needs flexible
workplaces, a work-from-home ecosystem and flexible work hours, adding
that these should be used as opportunities for women's labour force
participation.
Addressing the National Conference of
Labour Ministers of all states through video conferencing in Tirupati,
Prime Minister Modi reiterated the various efforts by the government
like Pradhan Mantri Shram-Yogi Maandhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha
Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, that have given
security cover to the workers.
"These schemes have assured the
labourers of the recognition of their hard work and contribution. The
Emergency Credit Guarantee Scheme, according to a study, saved 1.5 crore
jobs during the pandemic," he said during his speech.
Modi
further pointed out the e-Shram portal is one of the key initiatives to
bring the labour force under the ambit of social security.
"In
just one year, about 28 crore workers from 400 areas have been
registered on the portal. This has especially benefited construction
workers, migrant labourers, and domestic workers," he said.
The Prime Minister requested all the ministers to integrate state portals with the e-Shram portal.
