Ministry of Labour & Employment Conducts Shram Samvad Outreach

The Ministry of Labour and Employment carried its “Shram Samvad” outreach programme into industrial clusters across Delhi, Haryana and Uttarakhand on Friday, taking the government’s labour welfare dialogue directly to factory floors in the National Capital Region and the adjoining hill state (PIB).

The initiative is structured around face-to-face engagement with workers and employers in key manufacturing hubs. Officials use the sessions to explain the basket of social security schemes available under the central government, walk through compliance requirements under the new labour codes, and demonstrate how grievance redressal mechanisms function in practice (PIB).

By holding the conversations inside the clusters rather than in ministry offices, the programme attempts to close the information gap that often leaves eligible workers unaware of benefits such as accident insurance, pension contributions and maternity entitlements. Employers, meanwhile, are briefed on registration procedures, filing timelines and the penalties for non-compliance under the four consolidated labour codes that replaced 29 older statutes (PIB).

The three-state sweep covers a dense industrial corridor stretching from the capital’s peripheral estates through Haryana’s automotive and electronics belts to the pharmaceutical and auto-ancillary units clustered in Uttarakhand’s plains districts. Labour ministry teams moved simultaneously across the locations on Friday, marking the first coordinated multi-state edition of the outreach since the programme’s national launch (PIB).

No further dates or additional states for the current phase of the campaign have been announced.
