She highlighted the nation&#8217;s remarkable achievement in lifting 171 million citizens out of multidimensional poverty and expanding social security coverage to 94 crore people. Further, she urged all states to actively lead outreach, align their programmes, and leverage digital platforms like e-Shram and National Career Services (NCS) to ensure that no worker is left behind in the nation&#8217;s march towards a Viksit Bharat.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/image\/image0035EV4.jpg\" \/><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>In her opening remarks, Secretary (Labour &amp; Employment), Ms. Vandana Gurnani, emphasized that the National Conference on Labour &amp; Employment functions as a vital dialogue for building national partnerships and translating discussion into concrete action.

To directly address the dignity and safety of workers, the model of\u00a0Labour Chowk Facilitation Centres (LCFCs)\u00a0was presented, which will convert unsafe roadside gathering points into structured hubs offering shelter, drinking water, sanitation, and direct access to welfare services like registration and health camps. Complementing this,\u00a0Digital Labour Chowk mobile application\u00a0was presented which is a multilingual platform that connects workers with employers digitally for transparent and efficient job matching, reducing dependence on middlemen and unsafe waiting. To strengthen the financial backbone of welfare, the\u00a0Online BOCW Cess Collection Portal\u00a0introduces a unified digital system for automatic cess calculation, online payment, and real-time monitoring, ensuring plan approvals are linked to cess verification and accelerating the flow of funds to State Welfare Boards for worker benefits. The Digital Labour Chowk mobile app and the Online BoCW Cess Collection Portal were launched by Union Minister for Labour &amp; Employment, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, during the conference today.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/image\/image004UZBH.jpg\" \/><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>A significant step towards safeguarding Indian jobseekers, the draft\u00a0Private Placement Agency (Regulation) Act, 2025\u00a0was discussed.

Its core mechanism is the\u00a0\u00a0registration of all private placement agencies, creating a single national registry.
