SCOPE's interactive session decodes New Labour Codes & Central Rules
SCOPE organised an Interactive workshop on Labour Law Reforms: Understanding the New Labour Codes & Central Rules with Knowledge Partner, Deloitte. Dr. Mahendra Kumar, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Labour & Employment, GoI; Dr K P Mahadevaswamy, Chairman, SCOPE & CMD, NBCC; Atul Sobti, Director General, SCOPE and Deloitte team - Gokul Chaudhri, President Tax, and Divya Baweja, Partner addressed the inaugural session. The workshop, attended by nearly 100 participants from 32 PSEs and part of SCOPE’s ongoing capacity-building initiative, provided comprehensive guidance on implementing statutory provisions regarding wages, social security, workplace safety, and labour-management relations.
In his address, Dr. Mahendra Kumar stated that the recent consolidation of labour laws into four comprehensive labour codes makes a major step towards simplification, transparency, and modernization. These reforms aim to strike a careful balance between labour rights as well as ease of doing business.
Dr Mahadevaswamy said that the strength of any major reform lies not only in its legislative architecture, but also in the quality of dialogue that accompanies it. He also said that continuous engagement among government, employers, and employees is therefore essential for building shared understanding and confidence.
Speaking on the occasion Shri Atul Sobti hailed the four codes as a globally appreciated ‘game changer’ that has revolutionised regulatory clarity, efficiency, and inclusivity. Highlighting SCOPE’s close partnership with MoLE, he emphasized that mastering these reforms is critical for PSEs given their massive direct and indirect workforces.
Deloitte team comprising of Gokul Chaudhri and Divya Baweja shared that it is a step in the right direction that will take the country forward from the labour law and labour reforms perspective.
Through this Interactive Session, SCOPE reaffirmed its role as a knowledge partner to PSEs in navigating the transition to the new Labour Codes, and reiterated its commitment to continued capacity-building programs on the subject across the country.
Senior officials from Ministry & PSEs, Subject Matter Experts along with Deloitte Team addressed the workshop, providing comprehensive technical guidance and fielding participant queries on labour code implementation.
