There’s no clear relationship between movement of migrant labour and employment as well as demand for jobs under the Mahatma Gandhi Rural National Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), the Budget-eve Economic Survey said.The pandemic-induced lockdowns and disruptions had pushed millions of migrant workers and day-wagers into a survival battle, as they fled urban economic hubs in large numbers back to home states. Bihar and Jharkhand account for the largest number
of migrants.“Intuitively”, the survey stated, “one may expect that higher MGNREGS demand may be directly related to the movement of migrant labour i.e. source states would be more impacted.”However, the Survey said demand for employment at an aggregate level under MGNREGA still seemed to be above the pre-pandemic levels of 2019.For many migrant “source states” such as West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar, MGNREGA employment in most months of 2021 had been lower than the corresponding levels in 2020, the annual economic.

Announcement On Labour Code Implementation Very Likely
It may be worst of times and it may be best of times, for workforce and the employers. UnionBudget 2022-23 to be tabled on February 1 is being anxiously awaited by the workforce onthe one hand and the employers on the other, for some unprecedented announcements areexpected around implementation of Modi’s four controversial labour codes, which maydrastically alter the permutation and combinations of industrial relations in the country.The signals emanating from non less than the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his officethemselves that the Union Budget 2022-23 may contain some unprecedentedannouncements, since only the other day Modi had asked the administrators of districtsacross the country to work of “ease of living.” Until now he has been untiring in telling thecountry that the four labour codes subsuming 29 labour laws primarily aim at enhancing“ease of doing business”.It was in this backdrop, the trade unions of the country have been apprehensive about thefour labour codes and alleging that in “ease of doing business” will put the employers inadvantageous position vis-à-vis labour force, and thereby make room for “ease ofexploitation of workers” obstructing not only “decent work for all” but also decent growth withbetter working environment for business and industries. Workforce feared economic slaveryin the hands of employers if the four labour codes will be implemented.“Ease of living” vs “ease of doing business” statements by Modi cannot be taken at facevalue for various reasons. They must carry some mystery, that can be party or fully knownon February 1, when the budget will be tabled in the parliament. Modi must be weighing thepros and cons of the two opposite views – the earlier view is that the four labour codes arethe much awaited largest labour reform in the independent India which must be implementedin the coming financial year 202223. Modi and the Ministry of Labour has been working hardfor almost two years to implement them and now majority of the states and UTs havealready framed their rules which was legally required for the labour is a state subject. UnionMinister of Labour and Employment had recently virtually rejected the demand for rollback ofthe four labour codes in the Rajya Sabha.The other view is the view of the Economic Advisory Council (EAC) of the Prime Minister,which has recently said in its report that the four labour codes the government is pushing forimplementation in the financial year 2022-23 did not take a comprehensive view of all labourlaws of the land. The EAC-PM’s view is an indirect vindication of the Central Trade Unions’allegation that the four labour codes of the Modi government are bad enough to be scraped.In place of the four labour codes, the EAC-PM has backed a unified labour law, much on thelines of the Bangladesh Labour Act of 2006. It said that the four labour codes which weremade after amalgamation of 29 central labour laws have only standardized and streamlinedthe existing statures without addressing definitional inconsistencies. The EAC-PM has not only batted against the four labour codes, but also called for a Unified Labour Law to beframed after taking a comprehensive view of all labour laws. It has emphasized on furthersimplification of the labour laws and called for other alternative policy efforts to boostemployment generation and industrial growth. The council said in the report, “A single unifiedlaw or reforms aimed at all sectors and nature of jobs would create a supportive businessenvironment for the urban economy. This would allow the service sector and the new-ageurban economy to truly take off.” The Council has thus indirectly said that the four labourcodes may not improve all sectors and jobs.The four labour Codes in question are the Codes on Wages 2019, the Code on SocialSecurity, 2020, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Healthand Working Conditions Code 2020. The Central Trade Unions have been opposing thecodes on four major grounds. The Codes on Wages, 2019 is being opposed on the groundthat it merely provides a threshold floor-level wage; the Code on Industrial Relations 2020 isbeing opposed because it allows firms engaging up to 300 employees to retrench workerswithout seeking state government’s approval; the Code on Occupational Safety 2020 isopposed - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara because it exempts.

When Preity Zinta said it was ‘scary’ to testify against underworld in court Preity Zinta had once opened up about her experience of testifying in court against gangsters, who threatened her with extortion. She described it as a ‘scary’ experience. Agency News: Mumbai Preity Zinta once opened up about her experience of testifying in court after receiving threat calls from underworld gangsters. During the shooting of the 2001 film Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, Preity told a court in Mumbai that she received calls asking for ₹50 lakh. In an interview almost two decades later, Preity talked about the incident and described it as ‘scary’. Apart from Preity, Bollywood celebrities such as Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Rakesh Roshan and Mahesh Manjrekar, among others, also allegedly received extortion calls but they retracted their statements before appearing in court. Chori Chori Chupke Chupke producer Nazim Rizvi and financier Bharat Shah were accused of backing the film with funding from underworld gangster Chhota Shakeel.Speaking to India Today at the India Today Conclave East 2018, Preity had said: “For the record, if I knew that everyone was going to back out, I also would have. It was a scary time in my life. I should have been protected. Whatever I said in court was on TV ten minutes later.” Preity revealed that while everyone on the sets of Chori Chori Chupke Chupke was ‘paranoid’ anticipating threat calls, she dealt with it her own way. She decided to stand up against the gangsters when they became abusive: “I was fine till they were scaring me, but once they started abusing, I lost it. I can take stress, but not people abusing me. I learnt that if you get a call from +92, don’t pick up! Luckily I was famous. Had I not been, it would’ve been tough.”Explaining her reason behind deciding to testify in court while others backed out, Preity said, “I didn’t have a family, I didn’t have children.” Preity married Gene Goodenough in 2016 and the couple welcomed twins via surrogacy just last year. Directed by Abbas– Mustan, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke was delayed by several months as the CBI investigated the case. Preity Zinta co-starred with Salman Khan and Rani Mukerji in the movie.
