Concerned over the industrial unrest witnessed during the two-day nation-wide strike, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said, revival in economic growth will help combat industrial tension. As per Ahluwalia, when the industry is back into a normal state, many other tensions like strikes and spiraling prices will go down.
Around 11 trade unions have called a strike on February 20 and 21 against strict enforcement of labour laws, spiraling prices, creation of social security net for workers in unorganized sector as well as raising minimum wages to Rs 10,000 per month, among others. Industry body Assocham said that the GDP may lose about Rs 26,000 crore due to the strike which has impacted industrial activity and services such as banking and finance.
While addressing an event on leveraging employment generation in the 12th Five Year Plan, Ahluwalia stated the need of public private partnership (PPP) for employment generation and skill development as the number of people in India is not skilled.
Earlier also Ahluwalia emphasized on the fact that the government need to make sure that the young generation are educated and equipped with both the educational and skill weapons in order to deal with rapidly changing and increasingly globalizing world, which is a huge challenge for the country.
