Labour Crises’


    Prosperous parts of the country known for source of employment to poor states residents, so they often moves to these places and even they themselves claims they are earning much more then they use to earn in there home states. Migrant labour as they known is tough & dedicated by nature and usually belongs to the states of Utter Pradesh and Bihar states moves towards the states like New Delhi, Haryana and Punjab, but thanks to the development projects, initiatives, opportunities of employments, steps against corruption, neat and clean administration in the state of Bihar, all these factors now hampering them to move to other states in search of employment which are bundle with handsome money packages’. If one go through the details available then prosperous states industries are feeling the heat of shortage of migrant labour as compare to the last year and it touches drop of almost twenty five to thirty percent, which making hard for the industries to cope with the shortage of labour despite they are ready to compromise with the situation by offering them double the packages labour is entitle but they are still not available easily and local persons are not ready to do the work of labour. As per news chief minister of Bihar Mr. Nitish Kumar create jobs opportunities under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act or most popularly known as MGNREGA, thus join the elite list of states that gets maximum grants from central government under MGNREGA.
     Bihar state emerge from no where to a state which is on the path of prosperity, it was happen purely due to the efforts, initiatives and public friendly schemes by the chief minister of state Mr. Nitish Kumar, who during his first term in office as in charge of state change the image of Bihar with score of policies and he was appreciated by the public as he and his alliance almost clean sweep the recently held assembly elections of Bihar and now dragging the neat administration for public he is doing lot of works which is happening first time in India as in his second term he makes checks on the funds of public projects, thus money received any projects now fully utilize, which resultants Bihar is on the path of prosperity, and state’s public which is known for its hard work is Bihar’s assets, in the past they had no options but to move other parts of the country which are prosperous, now as they are getting opportunities in there home state, so they are now not interested to look job’s opportunities in other parts of the country; but it is making very tough and difficulties for the area like Punjab, as its industries totally dependent on migrant labour courtesy not interest of local persons to do labour, but now they need not to move other states especially Punjab state’s industries is feeling the heat of shortage of labour , that’s why there demand suddenly shoot and even industrialists are ready to pay almost double to there packages’. One of the well known industrialists told to the media persons while talking about the labour crises they are facing, two years ago forgers was available on to four thousand rupees per month but now he is demanding eight thousand rupees per month, and helper who was getting two thousand and five hundred rupees per month now demanding four thousand rupees and still not easily available, they are facing labour crises at the time when scores of plants in the district are under the phase of expansion but it will hamper there plans due to shortage of labour, more over it is dipping at the rate of twenty to thirty percent per year, so it is alarm for the industrialist fraternity that future can be very tough as far getting labour is concerned simply due to migrant labour is getting opportunities in there home town and Punjab or other places of the country become for them less lucrative or have not much importance.
     Considering it certainly it is tough and hard time for industrial units of Punjab as shortage of labour is hampering there expansion plans and adding insult to injury this phase is not temporary but will deepen further in future, for survive in the environment of labour shortage they need to create alternative of migrant labour other wise time ahead can be critical for them.
