The law relating to labour and employment in India is mainly known under the broad category of "Industrial Law". In India, Industrial law is of recent vintage and has developed in respect to the vastly increased awakening of the workers of their rights, particularly after the advent of Independence. Industrial relations embrace a complex of relationships between the employers, workers, and government, principally concerned with the determination of the terms of employment and conditions of labour of the workers. Increasing expectations of the workers, the hopes extended by Welfare State, uncertainties caused by tremendous structural developments in industry, the decline of authority, the waning attraction of the work ethics and political activism in the industrial field, all seem to have played some role.
The main responsibility of the Ministry of Labour & Employment is to protect and safeguard the interests of workers in general and those who constitute the poor, deprived and disadvantaged sections of the society, in particular, with due regard to creating a healthy work environment for higher production and productivity and to coordinate and develop vocational skill training and employment services.
