DETAILS ABOUT THE EVENT / OPPORTUNITY
RGNUL, Punjab is organising a One-Day National Conference on “The New Labour Codes: Prospective Concerns for Human Rights” in hybrid mode.
The introduction of the four new Labour Codes represents a major transformation in India’s labour law framework. While the reforms aim at consolidation and modernisation, they also raise critical concerns regarding labour welfare, social security, collective bargaining, and human rights of workers across formal and informal sectors.
The conference seeks to provide an interdisciplinary platform for academicians, practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and students to critically examine the prospective impact of the new labour codes on labour justice, human rights, and access to dignified working conditions in India.
