Answer» State governments have suddenly BECOME very enthusiastic about what they are PROJECTING as labour reforms. This is hardly surprising given that governments try and push through unpopular economic reforms at the time of an economic crisis. So, what is happening in India currently, is no different. Labour reforms are necessary in India given that India has a surfeit of labour laws and they hamper businesses.

The VETERAN LOBBYIST, Amit Mitra, who is now the Finance, Industries and Commerce Minister of the state of West BENGAL, estimates that there are another 150 state-level labour laws in India. |
