In a pointed address, Nayab Singh Saini, Minister of State, asserted that true development for India is impossible without advancing its laborers. ‘Our pledge to build a developed India stays half-done unless workers prosper,’ Saini stated firmly during a key event.
Delving into the challenges faced by the working class, Saini outlined the Modi government’s multifaceted approach. From PM-Kaushal Vikas Yojana to enhanced social security nets, these programs target the core issues of skill gaps and financial insecurity.
He stressed the transformative potential of technology in upskilling workers, urging a shift from traditional roles to modern industries. Data from recent labor surveys show millions transitioning into formal employment, a trend Saini hailed as progress.
Critics, however, point to persistent issues like wage disparities and migration woes. Saini countered by announcing new incentives for MSMEs to hire and train local talent.
Looking ahead, the minister envisioned a future where every worker contributes to and benefits from India’s growth story. His words come at a time when youth unemployment remains a hot-button issue, making labor empowerment politically charged.
Industry leaders echoed support, promising investments in worker welfare. As debates on economic policies intensify, Saini’s focus on laborers positions labor rights at the forefront of national discourse.
