The programmes brought together senior government officials, State Labour Departments, industry associations, employers, HR and legal professionals and other stakeholders to facilitate a better understanding of the four Labour Codes, employer compliance requirements and key employment and social-security initiatives of the Government.

The Shram Samvad campaign, launched nationwide on September 28, 2026, is a 90-day outreach initiative under which the Ministry is undertaking district-level engagement across 316 districts in all 36 States and Union Territories, with a focus on industrial clusters.

In East Delhi, the programme at SCOPE Minar, Laxmi Nagar, was addressed by Dr. Mahendra Kumar, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Labour & Employment, and Pandurang Pole, Secretary-cum-Commissioner (Labour), Government of NCT of Delhi. More than 100 participants from industry and the labour ecosystem attended the programme. Technical sessions focused on the new Labour Codes, their objectives and major provisions, employer compliance requirements, PMVBRY and PM-SYM.

The programme at Dehradun was organised in partnership with PHDCCI, and attended by around 90 participants, including representatives of industry associations and business establishments, employers, industrialists and professionals. Govind Ram, Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Labour & Employment, provided an overview of the four Labour Codes and the employer compliance chain.

At Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, the programme was organised in collaboration with the Labour Department, Government of Maharashtra, and witnessed participation of around 200 stakeholders, including representatives of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Chaman Lal Guleria, Director, Ministry of Labour & Employment, delivered the keynote address and provided an overview of the programme.
