The 44th Session of Indian Labour Conference was held on 14 and 15 February, 2012 under the chairmanship of Shri Mallikarjun Kharge, Union Minister of Labour & Employment. The conference was inaugurated by the prime Minister Manmohan Singh on 14 February. The conference was attended by senior representatives of Workers and Employers Organisations and State Labour Ministers and Senior Officers from Central Ministries/Departments and State Governments.
The Conference deliberated upon very topical and critical issues viz., (i) Minimum Wages, (ii) Social Security and (iii) Employability and Employment.
The brainstorming sessions at the conference is expected to strengthen the institutions of social dialogue already in place and result in better understanding of each other's perspective and convergence of varied ideas and approaches amongst social partners.
The first such tripartite consultation at the national level was held in 1942 as the Tripartite National Labour Conference – subsequently renamed as Indian Labour Conference since 1944. The Indian Labour Conference – the apex tripartite consultative body at national level has been aptly described as the Labour Parliament of India, a confluence of creative forces and energies and the testing ground of tripartite consensus in decision making.
43 Sessions of Indian Labour Conference have been held so far to discuss prominent labour related issues.
