The meeting of the working group is preparatory for a BRICS meet to be held in Delhi, he told reporters.
Dattatreya, who recently attended the International Labour Conference in Geneva, said the focus of the Union Government and other countries is on employment generation.
"The initiatives of the NDA government to spur growth are helping in generating employment. The Narendra Modi government favoured an inclusive growth," he said.
A modern employment exchange would be opened in Hyderabad in the third week of July, he said adding, job seekers and employers, who have registered on the National Career Service (NCS) portal of the Labour Ministry, would be brought on to a single platform on the occasion.
The state governments would be asked to come on board the NCS portal and a system to provide jobs to lakhs of job seekers, Dattatreya said.
As many as 3.60 crore job seekers, 27,195 skill providers and 8.29 lakh employers, besides 50 placement organisations, have joined the portal.
"This is a small answer to those who are asking what did the government do in the last two years," he said.
The ESI Medical College at Sanatnagar here would be run from 2016-17, he said.
He thanked Union Health Minister J P Nadda and the Medical Council of India for giving the required permissions to the college.
