India is a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic
constituted for the welfare of its people and is also committed to making
working class as bedrock for consolidating the Republic . The Jammu and
Kashmir as a constituent of Republic is committed to the welfare of the
working class and to the empowerment of the Labourers to enable them to play
their role in the institution building of the J&K UT. It is with these
ideals in view that the UT Jammu and Kashmir has adopted central
legislations relating to the Labourers which take care of regulatory
mechanisms for implementation of these laws and social security measures to
improve socio-economic conditions of the working class. These welfare
measures include Provident fund, Medical insurance , a package of Welfare
schemes for building and construction workers, Rehabilitation of Child
Labourers and Bonded labourers, conciliation between employees and employers
in case of a dispute etc. The erstwhile J&K state had also enacted three
state legislations dealing with the welfare of the working class in the
state. But After the re-organisation of the state into two UTs viz- UT of
J&K and UT of Ladakh, J&K Employees Provident Fund Act has been repealed and
consequently Central Provident Fund Organisation has no taken over the JK
Provident Fund Organisation. However, the J&K Labour & Employment Department
will continue the look after the issues of J&K Provident Fund Organisation
during transition period of one year.
The J&K government has also placed a well knit institutional mechanism to
implement these legislations through the Labour Department ,Provident Fund
Organization (still in transition phase), State Insurance Corporation (ESIC)
and Jammu and Kashmir Building and Other Construction Welfare Board.
