The 159th Kendriya Karya Samithi (Central Executive Council) of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh has demanded the Central Government to implement the Wage Code and Social Security Code immediately. The KKS meetings also demanded that the Government of India convene the Indian Labour Conference (ILC), the highest tripartite body of the Labour Ministry, at the earliest date.
The KKS meetings of BMS were held from August 22 to 24, 2025, in Bhopal, and adopted three resolutions. Sri Hiranmay Pandya, President, chaired the deliberations, and Sri Ravindra Himte, General Secretary, conducted them.
The Wage Code and the Social Security Codes are the historical ones that are more beneficial to ordinary workers. Therefore, BMS continuously insists on immediate implementation.
The BMS is opposing many clauses that are against Workers’ interests in the Industrial Relations Code and also the Occupational Safety & Health and Working Conditions Code. Hence, it is opposing these two codes. BMS requests the Government of India to implement the Labour Codes in a phased manner, taking the tripartite partners into confidence. There should not be any haste in implementing all four Labour Codes.
The Indian Labour Conference (ILC) was held in 2015. After that, it was not held. The ILC is the highest Tripartite Body under the Labour Ministry, which is one of the best contributions of Indian Democracy. After 2015, the world of work has undergone significant changes in multiple dimensions. Technology, Digital Infrastructure, and Digital transition have brought about many changes in Social life and the economic scenario. There is an urgency to discuss Labour issues in this
highest decision-making body. The Labour Ministry should take the initiative and convene the ILC as early as possible.
The KKS meetings, through a resolution, had welcomed the Haryana Government’s decision to regularise contract workers under the Kaushal Vikas Yojana. They expressed their gratitude to the Chief Minister of Haryana, Sri Nayab Singh Saini.
The KKS had expressed its apprehensions about the Face Recognition System (FRS) introduced by the Women and Child Welfare Ministry under the ICDS scheme. The FRS has presented numerous difficulties for Aanganwadi Workers nationwide due to several practical problems at the implementation level. It has become another tool for harassing Aanganwadi Workers by District-level officials. The BMS demanded that the government withdraw this lopsided policy.
The KKS has decided to conduct its 20th All-India Conference in Puri during the first week of February 2026, with approximately 2,500 selected delegates from 42 Industrial Federations and 28 State units.
