Shramev Jayate: Modi launches labour-friendly scheme for Skilled India













Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched labour-reform initiatives under the name of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Shramev Jayate scheme.
Shramev Jayate has the same power as Satyamev Jayate for the development of our nation, PM Modi said.
"White-collar jobs are considered good, we'll have to change the way we look at labour," PM Modi further said.
"How to change the work culture? These efforts are a great example," said Modi amid applause. "This is Minimum Government Maximum Governance."
The prime minister said: "E-governance is easy governance. It builds trust for transparency."
On Inspector Raj, he said a computer now determines where an inspection will be carried out the next day. He also said the number of forms that companies have to fill regarding their labour force has been reduced from as many as 16 to just one now. This form can be filed online.
Modi dedicated a Shram Suvidha portal, Labour Inspection scheme and Portability through Universal Account Number (UAN) for Employees Provident Fund at an event in Vigyan Bhavan here.
He also released a booklet of National Brand Ambassadors for Vocational Training and Souvenir for All India Skill Competitions. 
"Skill (development) is the need of the hour. We have to create a Skilled India and increase the scale," Cabinet Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said at Shramev Jayate programme
