Abstract
Sixty years have passed since India
gained its independence, but
it is still a large agrarian economy
with 3/5th of workforce employed
in agriculture and produces
about 1/4th of gross domestic
product (GDP). Since the liberalization
of Indian economy, the
reform in respect of labour has

and more inclusive and which facilitates
in making Indian firms
more competitive. The challenge
is of combining greater flexibility
with the need to maximize security
for all particularly labour,
