ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE (IC) FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT
(SHRI BANDARU DATTATREYA)
(a): Reforms in labour laws are an ongoing process to update legislative system to address the need of the hour and to make them more effective and contemporary to the emerging economic and industrial scenario. The Second National Commission on Labour has recommended that the existing Labour Laws should be broadly grouped into four or five Labour Codes on functional basis. Accordingly, the Ministry has recently taken steps for drafting four Labour Codes on Wages; Industrial Relations; Social Security & Welfare; and Safety and Working Conditions respectively, by simplifying, amalgamating and rationalizing the relevant provisions of the existing Central Labour Laws. Similarly, the Ministry has taken steps to draft Small Factories Bill, a special legislation for the small manufacturing units, based on the recommendations of 2nd National Commission of Labour. Ministry has also taken steps for amendment of individual Labour Acts. These legislative initiatives will improve the wage security, job security and social security of the workers.
(b): As per the information received from States/UTs, details of placement effected against the vacancies notified through Employment Exchanges in the country of the job seekers registered with these employment exchanges during the year 2012, 2013 & 2014 is given at Annexure-I.
