Labour Investigation Committee Government of India Report on the Labour Conditions in the Central Public Works Department

1946

The final lists of centres of survey and individual establishments were made out in the light of the impressions gathered during the course of the preliminary tour and in consultation with local authorities. [...] The guiding principle in the selection of centres of survey was to make the survey regionally representative so as to discover differences in ihe conditions of labour in the same industry in different parts of the country. [...] This departure from the usual procedure of the Cqsnmittee as a whole dealing with the work was necessary in view of the imensity of the task and the necessity of maintaining an all-India perspective. [...] Much will depend upon the public works programme of the Government of India and also of the Provincial Governments and States and it is to be hoped that the poswar plans of these Governments will successfully fill the big gap created by a sudden cessation of wartime construction. [...] Apart from this Divisional Officers and his subordinates are required to furnish immediately information to the proper civil authorties of every seriom accident and in the case of death to see that the body is not removed till an enquiry has been held.' The working of the Workmen’s Compensation Act is not as satisfactory as it should be especially in the case of contract tabour.
