Labour Minister says new Govt. has brought ray of hope for India

Speaking at the launch of the Shram Suvidha Portal, Universal Account Number and Inspection Scheme by Prime Minister, Union Labour Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Thursday stated that a ray of hope has emerged among people ever since the new government has taken over.

"Since the Government took over, a new ray of hope has emerged among people, even the world is looking at India with a great hope," said Tomar during the launch of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Shramev Jayate scheme at Vigyan Bhawan.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched the 'Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Shramev Jayate' scheme among others, aimed at creating conducive environment for industrial development and doing business with ease.

Under the 'Shramev Jayate' scheme, labourers will get Unique Labour Identification Numbers, LIN, to facilitate their online registration. At least four crore labourers are expected to benefit from this scheme.

Prime Minister Modi also dedicated to the nation a unified labour portal called 'Shram Suvidha' and Universal Account Number for Employees Provident Fund besides the Apprentices 'Protsahan Yojana' which will support one lakh apprentices.

Tomar also pressed upon the need to give encouragement to the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) saying that they are very important for the nation's progress.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also stressed upon the effectiveness of E-governance and economical governance.

"The biggest problem is that we who are in the Government think that no one knows anything better than us; this is wrong, we must trust our citizens. Inspector Raj is a big problem, I believe e-governance is effective and economical governance; it is also important for transparency."

He also appealed to the people to change their perspective towards manual labour.

"We are all aware of Satyamev Jayate. Shramev Jayate holds equal importance as Satyamev Jayate for the development of the nation," said Prime Minister Modi.
