During the inauguration of a two-day workshop at SPIPA, Gandhinagar, Labour Minister Kunvarjibhai Bavaliya urged that labor policies extend beyond administrative boundaries to reach every worker’s family. He emphasized the social and economic responsibilities in eliminating child labour and promoting safe migration.
Highlighting migrant workers' significant role in India's progress, Bavaliya underlined the challenges migration poses, such as disrupting children's education and healthcare access. Addressing child labour issues requires coordinated government efforts and improved rescue and rehabilitation measures, he asserted.
Officials called for enhanced cooperation and effective action plans to prevent child exploitation. They stressed the necessity of quality education and healthcare for every child, aligning with broader national goals like Prime Minister Modi's vision of a developed India by 2047, focusing on inclusivity and opportunity.
