Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday directed officials to simplify labour laws to make it easier for industries to operate while also ensuring that workers are not exploited or treated unfairly.
The state’s industrial growth is possible only when labour laws are balanced from the industry and workers’ perspectives, he said, chairing a review meeting of the labour and employment department. Workers and industrialists complement each other and are not rivals, he noted.
Shutting down industries won’t generate jobs, instead, expanding them is the key to creating more employment opportunities, he said.
Yogi Adityanath stressed on the importance of providing fair wages and insurance coverage to workers so that they and their families are protected in case of an accident.
He also said the state government is committed to protecting workers’ rights while also promoting Uttar Pradesh as the most worker-friendly and industry-supportive state in the country.
The chief minister emphasised the need to rehabilitate child labourers not just by giving them basic livelihood, but connecting them with schemes like the Mukhyamantri Bal Seva Yojana and other sponsored programmes.
He said this is not just a social responsibility but also a step towards securing the future of the next generation, according to a government spokesperson.
