ABOUT NLIU

ABOUT THE CENTRE FOR LABOUR LAWS (CLL)
The Centre for Labour Laws (CLL) at NLIU, Bhopal, was established in 2019 during the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Centre symbolises resilience, empathy, and commitment towards labourers and workmen, who form the backbone of the nation.
The Centre began with Mazdoor Mitra, a lockdown initiative supporting migrant workers. Since then, it has grown into a leading forum for research, policy dialogue, and academic engagement in labour and employment law.
Labour law scholarship has expanded significantly in recent years due to changing employment relations and workplace structures. India has a wide range of labour laws and regulatory mechanisms governing employment conditions and industrial relations.
These laws and institutions continue to evolve to ensure fair employment practices and address modern workplace challenges. The Centre for Labour Laws functions as a multidisciplinary platform for research, analysis, and discussion on labour and employment law issues in India and globally.
ABOUT LELB
The Centre for Labour Laws, National Law Institute University, Bhopal, invites academicians, legal practitioners, and students to contribute blogs on contemporary labour and employment law developments.
The labour law landscape is changing rapidly due to economic reforms, technological growth, and new work arrangements. The blog aims to offer critical insights into employment relationships, wage regulation, social security frameworks, and compliance mechanisms.
Recent developments relating to the gig economy, platform work, digital labour rights, and implementation of labour codes have reshaped employment law discourse.
Issues such as industrial relations, collective bargaining, workplace discrimination, occupational safety, and employment disputes require deeper academic and professional engagement. Contributors are encouraged to analyse judicial precedents, legislative reforms, and policy challenges. All submissions shall undergo a rigorous peer review process.
