Overview
- Public comments are open until 27 October, with the document available on the Labour Ministry, Directorate General of Employment and National Career Service portals.
- The plan elevates the National Career Service as digital public infrastructure for employment and links EPFO, ESIC, e‑SHRAM and PM‑JAY into a unified Labour Stack for benefit portability.
- Implementation is sequenced in three phases covering 2025–27 for institutional setup and pilots, 2027–30 for nationwide rollout, and beyond 2030 for consolidation with paperless, predictive governance.
- A three‑tier structure is proposed featuring a national implementation council chaired by the labour minister, state labour missions and district labour resource centres.
- The draft sets outcome targets and oversight tools, including raising female labour‑force participation to 35% by 2030, near‑zero workplace fatalities, real‑time dashboards and a Labour & Employment Policy Evaluation Index to benchmark states.
