Tentative Program (Further Details of Session to follow)

Application of labor laws to Industries in India: Recent Reforms & Current Initiatives
This session will address the application of labour laws to industry and the context in which they were framed. The laws
framed primarily to accommodate the industrial sector, do not address the difficulties of the service sector, which today,
accounts fifty five percent of India’s Gross Domestic Product. This session would address the rigidity of existing labour
laws and why flexibility in the same is required, especially in light of the growing services sector. The session would
identify the issues and challenges in the recent reforms and current initiatives in various sectors represented by the
participants.

Consolidation of Labour Laws: Need for Single Window Enforcement.
This session will address the enormous collection of labour laws in India which makes timely compliance a complex
issue for the industry and difficulties in ease of doing business in India. Besides, using different terms like worker,
workman, wages, salary & compensation, in respective legislations, have made compliance very cumbersome and
increase in litigation.

Changing Labor Law regime for Industry: A key to attract Investments & Growth
This session will address the recent reforms/amendments which were brought by Government of India and States such as
Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh. It would also assess the impact of these amendments on industry as a measure of
