Balancing Act: Technology's Impact on Labour Markets

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has emphasized the urgent need for evaluating the impact of emerging technologies on society and the labor market. Speaking at the 70th-anniversary event of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, Bhagwat highlighted the importance of ensuring that these technologies do not adversely affect work opportunities.

Union Minister for Labour and Employment, Mansukh Mandaviya, was also present and reiterated that various trade unions have different ideologies, but the BMS aligns itself with an India-centric working culture. He pointed out that the strength of the workers propels the nation's infrastructure development and economic growth.

Bhagwat stressed that while technology is indispensable, its integration into society should be handled thoughtfully to avoid increased unemployment or diminished respect for labor. He urged that the positive aspects of technological advancements should benefit society without introducing new challenges.
