Implementation of Labour Codes in the North-Eastern States of India: Issues, Challenges and Measures

Author(s) Dr. Suresh Tamang
Country India
Abstract In 2019 and 2020, the Indian Parliament passed four new labour codes to consolidate and reform India's complex web of central labour laws. The latest codes, which cover wages, industrial relations, social security, and occupational safety, health and working conditions, are set to have far-reaching impacts on labour relations and worker welfare across India. This paper examines the implementation of these labour codes in the eight states of India's Northeastern region. Through policy analysis and stakeholder interviews, it explores the unique issues and challenges faced by these states in adopting the new legal framework. Key challenges identified include the large informal sector, limited administrative and enforcement capacity, low awareness among employers and workers, and political instability in some states. The paper highlights examples of proactive measures being taken in states like Assam and Sikkim and provides recommendations for policymakers to ensure smooth and effective implementation. Overall, while the new codes have the potential to improve worker protections and simplify compliance significantly, the Northeastern states will require targeted interventions and sustained efforts to realise the benefits of these historic reforms fully.
