Dear Shri
Santosh Kumar Gangwarji ( Minister of
Labour ) :
[ molegangwar@yahoo.com / santosh.gangwar.bareilly@gmail.com
]
Congratulations
for releasing these draft rules for “ Code on Social Security “ for workers in the
Unorganized Sector , in which you have incorporated some of the suggestions
made in my above-mentioned e-mail
However , I
urge you to consider my following ( e-mailed ) suggestion , which will, with ONE STROKE ,
fully INTEGRATE,
Ø
All the 4 Labour Codes ( Wages / Industrial
Relations / Social Security / Occupational Safety , Health and Working
Conditions )
Ø
All types of Workers ( Unorganized –
Organized – Contractual – Part Time – Gig – may be even Domestic Workers – and potentially
even SELF EMPLOYED )
And through
such creation of a “ Single
Master Dynamic / Auto-Generated Database “ of our 480 million workers ( Organized + Unorganized
), it will enable framing of future policies in respect of INDUSTRY – TRADE –
COMMERCE – TAXATION ( Corporate and Personal ) – MINIMUM WAGES etc
There will be
no more need for conducting “ Quarterly – Annual Employment
Surveys “ of a tiny fraction ( not even 1 % ) of our workers

I urge you
not to miss this opportunity of a life-time
