Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that it was essential to respect the dignity of labour.

"There is a wrong habit which has crept in, we do not respect our labour enough," he said at the 46th session of Indian Labour Conference here.

"As a society, we need to respect the dignity of labour," he added.

The prime minister also said that it was his effort to simplify the laws so that even the poorest are able to understand their rights and avail them.
