Union Minister of State for Labour & Employment Inaugurates two-day Regional Conference of Labour & Employment and Industry Secretaries of States/UTs in Jaipur

• Second in a planned series of regional conferences convened by Union Ministry of Labour & Employment to coordinate state-level implementation of the four Labour Codes.
• Inaugurated by MoS Sushri Shobha Karandlaje at Jaipur on 14 January 2026; flagship coordination platform between Centre, States/UTs, ESIC, EPFO and VVGNLI.
• Relevant for UPSC because labour is in the Concurrent List; smooth rollout of the codes (effective 21 November 2025) is a major federal-administrative challenge.
