Ø After launching five new initiatives at the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Shramev Jayate Karyakram in New Delhi, the Prime Minister said that such a compassionate approach would result in the "Shram Yogi" (labourer) becoming a "Rashtra Yogi," and hence, a "Rashtra Nirmaata" (nation-builder).
Ø In the nation's development, the phrase "Shramev Jayate" had as much significance as "Satyamev Jayate."
Ø The Government must trust its citizens, and a big step had been taken in this direction by allowing self-certification of documents.
Ø Various initiatives being launched today as part of the Shramev Jayate Karyakram were also a step in this direction.
Ø Shram Suvidha Portal has simplified compliance of 16 labour laws, through a single online form.
Ø Transparent Labour Inspection Scheme for random selection of units for inspection, would end undue harassment of the "Inspector Raj," while ensuring better compliance.
Ø Rs. 27,000 crore was lying unclaimed with the Employees Provident Fund Organization. This money belonged to poor workers of India, and the portability provided for Employees Provident Fund through the Universal Account Number would put an end to such money being locked up and not reaching the intended beneficiary.
Ø The initiative of appointing National Brand Ambassadors of Vocational Training would instill pride and confidence in ITI students. The Prime Minister also honoured selected brand ambassadors.
Ø "Shramev Jayate" initiatives were an essential element of the "Make in India" vision, as they would pave the way for skill development of youth in a big way, and even create an opportunity for India to meet the global requirement of skilled labour workforce in the years ahead.
