Inaugurating the 44th Indian Labour Conference in New Delhi today, Dr. Manmohan Singh said skill development infrastructure in the country has to be strengthened. He said the government has launched the Skill Development Mission, which seeks to bring about a massive increase in the number of formally trained workers through Public Private Partnership.
Dr. Singh said that goals of fast and inclusive growth and of building a modern, industrializing economy cannot be achieved without having sound industrial relations. He said employers and workers representatives should work together to achieve an economic growth rate of at least 9 per cent.
Reiterating the government's commitment to the welfare and well being of labour, particularly in non-organised sector, he said that the government has worked hard to translate this commitment into action in the last seven and a half years and it has started yielding results.
The Prime Minister said that Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, MGNREGA has checked distress migration substantially from villages and brought about an improvement in the wages of rural workers.
